📄 Description (English)

OpenClaw before 2026.4.8 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the gateway plugin HTTP authentication mechanism that widens identity-bearing operator.read requests into runtime operator.write permissions. Attackers can exploit this by sending read-scoped requests through the gateway auth route to gain unauthorized write access to runtime operations.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

OpenClaw versions before 2026.4.8 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in the gateway plugin HTTP authentication mechanism that allows attackers to escalate read permissions to write permissions. Exploitation enables unauthorized modification of runtime operations through specially crafted requests to the gateway auth route.

📄 Description (Arabic)
