OpenClaw: Gateway `agent` calls could override the workspace boundary
### Summary The public gateway `agent` RPC allowed an authenticated operator with `operator.write` to supply attacker-controlled `spawnedBy` and `workspaceDir` values. That let the caller re-root the agent run outside its configured workspace boundary. ### Impact A non-owner operator could escape the intended workspace boundary and run normal file and exec tools from an arbitrary process-accessible directory. ### Affected versions `openclaw` `<= 2026.3.8` ### Patch Fixed in `openclaw` `2026.3.11` and included in later releases such as `2026.3.12`. The gateway now enforces the configured workspace boundary for agent runs regardless of caller-supplied overrides.
