GHSA-8jhh-jcqg-mj5p: OpenClaw: Channel commands could bypass account-scoped `configWrites` restrictions

March 13, 2026

In affected versions of openclaw, channel-initiated config mutations were authorized against the originating account’s configWrites policy but did not consistently re-check the targeted account scope. An authorized sender on one account could mutate protected sibling-account configuration when the target account had configWrites: false.
