OpenClaw before 2026.3.11 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability allowing write-scoped callers to reach admin-only session reset logic. Attackers with operator.write scope can issue agent requests containing /new or /reset slash commands to reset targeted conversation state without holding operator.admin privileges.

- GHSA-jf6w-m8jw-jfxcOpenClaw: Write-scoped callers could reach admin-only session reset logic through `agent`2026-03-13ghsa · osvUS
## Summary In affected versions of `openclaw`, a gateway caller with `operator.write` could issue `agent` requests containing `/new` or `/reset` and reach the same reset path used by the admin-only `sessions.reset` RPC. ## Impact On gateways where a caller is intentionally granted `operator.write` but not `operator.admin`, that caller could reset targeted conversation state through `agent` slash commands. This crosses the documented method-scope boundary between write-scoped messaging and admin-only session mutation. ## Affected Packages and Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `<= 2026.3.8` - Fixed in: `2026.3.11` ## Technical Details Scope checks were enforced only on the outer RPC method. The `agent` slash-command path reused admin-only reset logic internally, so a write-scoped caller could reach session-reset mutation without holding `operator.admin`. ## Fix OpenClaw no longer routes conversation `/new` and `/reset` through the admin-only `sessions.reset` entry point. Reset logic now lives in a shared service, while `sessions.reset` remains admin-only. The fix shipped in `openclaw@2026.3.11`. ## Workarounds Upgrade to `2026.3.11` or later.
