OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the gateway plugin subagent fallback deleteSession function that uses a synthetic operator.admin runtime scope. Attackers can exploit this by triggering session deletion without a request-scoped client to execute privileged operations with unintended administrative scope.

GHSA-h4jx-hjr3-fhgcOpenClaw: Gateway Plugin Subagent Fallback `deleteSession` Uses Synthetic `operator.admin`2026-03-29ghsa · osvUS
## Summary Gateway Plugin Subagent Fallback `deleteSession` Uses Synthetic `operator.admin` ## 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 plugin subagent fallback `deleteSession` previously dispatched `sessions.delete` with a synthetic `operator.admin` runtime scope when no request-scoped client existed. Commit `b5d785f1a59a56c3471f2cef328f7c9a6c15f3e7` binds deletion to the caller scope instead of minting admin scope. Verified vulnerable on tag `v2026.3.24` and fixed on `main` by commit `b5d785f1a59a56c3471f2cef328f7c9a6c15f3e7`. ## Fix Commit(s) - `b5d785f1a59a56c3471f2cef328f7c9a6c15f3e7`
