Summary
OpenClaw's Gateway Control UI bootstrap config required Gateway auth
Details

Summary

Gateway Control UI bootstrap config required Gateway auth.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected versions: <= 2026.4.21
  • Fixed version: 2026.4.22

Impact

When Gateway authentication was enabled, the Control UI bootstrap config endpoint could still be read without a valid Gateway token. That response could expose sensitive bootstrap/config fields intended only for authenticated Control UI sessions.

Fix

The bootstrap config route now goes through the same Gateway read-auth path as other authenticated Control UI reads. Regression tests cover unauthenticated rejection, valid-token access, and basePath handling.

Fix Commit(s)

  • 2321d67263bc710e357644d59f746b08d891051b

Verification

  • The fix commit is contained in the public v2026.4.22 tag.
  • openclaw@2026.4.22 is published on npm and the compiled package contains the fix.
  • Focused regression coverage for this path passed before publication.

OpenClaw thanks @zsxsoft for reporting.
