## Summary Unauthenticated plugin-auth HTTP routes receive operator runtime scopes ## Current Maintainer Triage - Status: narrow - Normalized severity: medium - Assessment: v2026.3.28 still gives auth:"plugin" routes operator WRITE_SCOPE, but impact should stay limited to plugin routes that actually touch privileged runtime actions before plugin auth completes. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published npm version: `2026.3.31` - Vulnerable version range: `<=2026.3.28` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.31` - First stable tag containing the fix: `v2026.3.31` ## Fix Commit(s) - `2a1db0c0f1fa375004a95ba0ef030534790a6d47` — 2026-04-01T00:20:49+09:00 OpenClaw thanks @davidluzsilva for reporting.
