• npm openclaw: < 2026.4.2 → fixed in 2026.4.2

Description

Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, `POST /sessions/:sessionKey/kill` did not enforce write scopes in identity-bearing HTTP modes. A caller limited to read-only operator scopes could still terminate a running subagent session. Impact A read-scoped caller could perform a write-class control-plane mutation and interrupt delegated work. This was an authorization bug on the HTTP scope boundary, not a shared-secret compatibility exception. Affected Packages / Versions • Package: `openclaw` (npm) • Affected versions: `= 2026.4.2` • Latest published npm version: `2026.4.1` Fix Commit(s) • `54a0878517167c6e49900498cf77420dadb74beb` — enforce session-kill HTTP scopes Release Process Note The fix is present on `main` and is staged for OpenClaw `2026.4.2`. Publish this advisory after the `2026.4.2` npm release is live. Thanks @EaEa0001 for reporting.
