Summary
OpenClaw: Assistant media route missed scope enforcement for trusted-proxy authorization
Details

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected versions: < 2026.4.20
  • Patched version: 2026.4.20

Impact

The Control UI assistant-media route authenticated trusted-proxy callers but did not enforce the declared operator scopes for identity-bearing HTTP auth paths. A trusted-proxy caller without operator.read could access assistant-media files and metadata that were otherwise inside allowed media roots.

The route still required successful gateway authentication and media-root checks. Severity is low.

Fix

Assistant-media file and metadata requests now require operator.read on identity-bearing HTTP auth paths.

Fix commit:

  • 99ef3a63c58440d53f8e45ad861b846032fcb036

Release

Fixed in OpenClaw 2026.4.20.
