• npm openclaw: < 2026.3.23 → fixed in 2026.3.23

Description

Summary Before `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`. Affected Packages / Versions • Package: `openclaw` (npm) • Affected: `= 2026.3.23` • Latest released tag checked: `v2026.3.23-2` (`630f1479c44f78484dfa21bb407cbe6f171dac87`) • Latest published npm version checked: `2026.3.23-2` Root Cause The 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`. Fix Commit(s) • `50f6a2f136fed85b58548a38f7a3dbb98d2cd1a0` — `fix(gateway): require admin for agent session reset` Release Status The 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. Code-Level Confirmation • `src/gateway/server-methods/agent.ts` now rejects `/reset` and `/new` for callers that do not have `operator.admin` before calling `performGatewaySessionReset(...)`. • `src/gateway/server-methods/agent.test.ts` contains the regression test `rejects /reset for write-scoped gateway callers`. Thanks @smaeljaish771 for reporting.
