OpenClaw: Command-authorized non-owners could reach owner-only `/config` and `/debug` surfaces

  • Disclosed: 13.03.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Summary

OpenClaw documented /config and /debug as owner-only commands, but the command handlers checked only whether the sender was command-authorized. A lower-trust sender who was intentionally allowed to run commands could still reach privileged configuration and debugging surfaces.

Impact

This allowed a non-owner sender to read or change privileged configuration that should have remained restricted to owners.

Affected versions

openclaw <= 2026.3.11

Patch

Fixed in openclaw 2026.3.12. Owner checks are now enforced for privileged command surfaces, and regression tests cover /config and /debug access control.
