  • GHSA-7jp6-r74r-995qOpenClaw: Matrix profile config persistence was reachable from operator.write message tools2026-04-17ghsa · osvUS

    ## Summary Matrix profile config persistence was reachable from operator.write message tools. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` - Ecosystem: npm - Affected versions: `< 2026.4.10` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.4.10` ## Impact Gateway `operator.write` message-tool paths could reach Matrix profile persistence that should have required admin-level authority. ## Technical Details The fix gates Matrix profile updates for non-owner message-tool runs and prevents write-scoped callers from mutating persistent profile config. ## Fix The issue was fixed in #62662. The first stable tag containing the fix is `v2026.4.10`, and `openclaw@2026.4.14` includes the fix. ## Fix Commit(s) - `fe0f686c9228fffcec6de4011da45e69a6e23e54` - PR: #62662 ## Release Process Note Users should upgrade to `openclaw` 2026.4.10 or newer. The latest npm release, `2026.4.14`, already includes the fix. ## Credits Thanks to @zpbrent and @zsxsoft, with sponsorship from @KeenSecurityLab and @qclawer for reporting this issue.
