GHSA-7JP6-R74R-995Q
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-17 22:15 – Updated: 2026-05-08 01:32Summary
Matrix profile config persistence was reachable from operator.write message tools.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw - Ecosystem: npm
- Affected versions:
< 2026.4.10 - Patched versions:
>= 2026.4.10
Impact
Gateway operator.write message-tool paths could reach Matrix profile persistence that should have required admin-level authority.
Technical Details
The fix gates Matrix profile updates for non-owner message-tool runs and prevents write-scoped callers from mutating persistent profile config.
Fix
The issue was fixed in #62662. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.10, and openclaw@2026.4.14 includes the fix.
Fix Commit(s)
fe0f686c9228fffcec6de4011da45e69a6e23e54- PR: #62662
Release Process Note
Users should upgrade to openclaw 2026.4.10 or newer. The latest npm release, 2026.4.14, already includes the fix.
Credits
Thanks to @zpbrent and @zsxsoft, with sponsorship from @KeenSecurityLab and @qclawer for reporting this issue.

Mitigation MIT-1
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Mitigation MIT-17
Strategy: Environment Hardening
Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks [REF-76]. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment. For example, database applications rarely need to run as the database administrator, especially in day-to-day operations.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
