## Summary Gateway Plugin HTTP auth: "gateway" Mints operator.admin Runtime Scope ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` - Affected versions: `<= 2026.3.24` - First patched version: `2026.3.25` - Latest published npm version at verification time: `2026.3.24` ## Details Gateway-authenticated plugin HTTP routes previously created a runtime scope set that included `operator.admin` regardless of caller-granted scopes.
