Summary
OpenClaw: Agent gateway config mutations could change protected operator settings
Details
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.
