BREW-openclaw-cli-CVE-2026-45001 — OpenClaw: Agent gateway config mutations could change protected operator settings

Affected: Homebrew: openclaw-cli

## Affected Packages / Versions

- Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `< 2026.4.20` - Patched version: `2026.4.20`

## Impact

The agent-facing `gateway config.patch` / `config.apply` guard did not cover several operator-trusted settings, including sandbox policy, plugin enablement, gateway auth/TLS, hook routing, MCP server configuration, SSRF policy, and filesystem hardening. A prompt-injected model with access to the owner-only gateway tool could persist changes to those settings.

This is a model-to-operator guard bypass, not a remote unauthenticated gateway compromise. Severity is medium.

## Fix

OpenClaw now blocks model-driven gateway config mutations for the broader operator-trusted path set and covers per-agent overrides and array-entry patching.

Fix commit:

- `fe30b31a97a917ecc6e92f6c85378b6b20352422`

## Release

Fixed in OpenClaw `2026.4.20`.
