OpenClaw: Gateway `operator.write` can reach admin-only persisted `verboseLevel` via `chat.send` `/verbose`
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
The `chat.send` path let authorized write-scoped callers persist `/verbose` session overrides even though the same stored session mutation is admin-only through `sessions.patch`.
## Impact
A write-scoped gateway caller could persist verbose output for later runs and expose more reasoning or tool output than the operator intended.
## Affected Component
`src/auto-reply/reply/directive-handling.impl.ts, src/gateway/sessions-patch.ts`
## Fixed Versions
- Affected: `<= 2026.3.24`
- Patched: `>= 2026.3.28`
- Latest stable `2026.3.28` contains the fix.
## Fix
Fixed by commit `c603123528` (`fix(gateway): require admin for persisted verbose defaults`).
