{"id":"GHSA-wq58-2pvg-5h4f","summary":"OpenClaw: Gateway agent /reset exposes admin session reset to operator.write callers","details":"## Summary\nBefore `v2026.3.23`, the Gateway `agent` RPC accepted `/reset` and `/new` for callers with only `operator.write`, even though the direct `sessions.reset` RPC correctly requires `operator.admin`.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Affected: `\u003c 2026.3.23`\n- Fixed: `\u003e= 2026.3.23`\n- Latest released tag checked: `v2026.3.23-2` (`630f1479c44f78484dfa21bb407cbe6f171dac87`)\n- Latest published npm version checked: `2026.3.23-2`\n\n## Root Cause\nThe vulnerable path lived in `src/gateway/server-methods/agent.ts`. A `/reset` or `/new` message with an explicit `sessionKey` reached `performGatewaySessionReset(...)` without enforcing the same `operator.admin` guard used by `sessions.reset`.\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n- `50f6a2f136fed85b58548a38f7a3dbb98d2cd1a0` — `fix(gateway): require admin for agent session reset`\n\n## Release Status\nThe fix commit is contained in released tags `v2026.3.23` and `v2026.3.23-2`. The latest shipped tag and npm release both include the fix.\n\n## Code-Level Confirmation\n- `src/gateway/server-methods/agent.ts` now rejects `/reset` and `/new` for callers that do not have `operator.admin` before calling `performGatewaySessionReset(...)`.\n- `src/gateway/server-methods/agent.test.ts` contains the regression test `rejects /reset for write-scoped gateway callers`.\n\nThanks @smaeljaish771 for reporting.","aliases":["CVE-2026-35660"],"modified":"2026-04-10T17:42:21.130842Z","published":"2026-03-26T19:00:45Z","database_specific":{"nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-862"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-26T19:00:45Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-wq58-2pvg-5h4f"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/50f6a2f136fed85b58548a38f7a3dbb98d2cd1a0"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.3.23"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-wq58-2pvg-5h4f/GHSA-wq58-2pvg-5h4f.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
