Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

### Summary Internal/webchat command auth could inherit ownerAllowFrom wildcard state. In affected versions, a sender on an affected internal or webchat path could inherit wildcard ownerAllowFrom state across channel boundaries. This advisory is scoped to the named feature and configuration. It does not change OpenClaw's trusted-operator model: authenticated Gateway operators, installed plugins, and intentional local execution surfaces remain trusted unless a separate policy, approval, allowlist, sandbox, or auth boundary is crossed. ### Impact When the affected feature is enabled and reachable, this could run owner-style command behavior that should have stayed channel-scoped. Practical impact depends on the operator's configuration and whether lower-trust input can reach that path. ### Patched Versions The first stable patched version is `2026.4.25`. ### Mitigations keep owner command allowlists explicit per channel until patched. As general hardening, keep channel and tool allowlists narrow, avoid sharing one Gateway between mutually untrusted users, and disable the affected feature when it is not needed.
