GHSA-hw9r-h9mr-4jff: OpenClaw: Scoped chat.send route inheritance could bypass admin command scope gates

July 2, 2026

Some internal command handlers require operator.approvals or operator.admin scopes. In affected releases, a scoped Gateway chat.send request delivered through an inherited external route could be evaluated as an external-channel command while still carrying the lower Gateway client scopes.

This issue affects scoped Gateway clients. It does not apply to shared-secret bearer HTTP compatibility endpoints, which are documented as full operator surfaces under OpenClaw’s trust model.
