BREW-openclaw-cli-CVE-2026-41908 — OpenClaw: Assistant media route missed scope enforcement for trusted-proxy authorization

Affected: Homebrew: openclaw-cli

## Affected Packages / Versions

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

## Impact

The Control UI assistant-media route authenticated trusted-proxy callers but did not enforce the declared operator scopes for identity-bearing HTTP auth paths. A trusted-proxy caller without `operator.read` could access assistant-media files and metadata that were otherwise inside allowed media roots.

The route still required successful gateway authentication and media-root checks. Severity is low.

## Fix

Assistant-media file and metadata requests now require `operator.read` on identity-bearing HTTP auth paths.

Fix commit:

- `99ef3a63c58440d53f8e45ad861b846032fcb036`

## Release

Fixed in OpenClaw `2026.4.20`.

CVE-2026-41908 — OpenClaw < 2026.4.20 - Scope Enforcement Bypass in Assistant-Media Route

Affected: OpenClaw

OpenClaw before 2026.4.20 contains a scope enforcement bypass vulnerability in the assistant-media route that allows trusted-proxy callers without operator.read scope to access protected assistant-media files and metadata. Attackers can bypass identity-bearing HTTP auth path scope validation to retrieve sensitive media content within allowed media roots.
