Description

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.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update openclaw to 2026.3.28 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-h4jx-hjr3-fhgc is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
