GHSA-hff7-ccv5-52f8: OpenClaw's gateway tokenless Tailscale auth applied to HTTP routes

March 3, 2026

When tokenless Tailscale auth is enabled, OpenClaw should only allow forwarded-header auth for Control UI websocket authentication on trusted hosts. In affected versions, that tokenless path could also be used by HTTP gateway auth call sites, which could bypass token/password requirements for HTTP routes in trusted-network deployments.
