Summary
OpenClaw: Matrix profile config persistence was reachable from operator.write message tools
Details

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)

  • PR: #62662

Release Process Note
