It does not apply to shared-secret Control UI sessions, which are treated as trusted operator sessions by design.\n\n### Affected configurations\n\nThis affects deployments using `gateway.auth.mode: \"trusted-proxy\"` for Control UI access where a restricted trusted-proxy user could open a Control UI WebSocket and present a fresh, unpaired device identity with elevated requested scopes.\n\n### Impact\n\nAn unpaired or restricted trusted-proxy Control UI client could obtain cached `operator.admin` authority on its live WebSocket connection. That authority could then be used for admin-gated Gateway RPCs until the connection was closed or revalidated.\n\n### Patched Versions\n\nThe first stable patched version is `2026.5.18`.\n\n### Mitigations\n\nUpgrade to `openclaw@2026.5.18` or later. Before upgrading, restrict trusted-proxy Control UI access to users who should have the scopes they can request, and restart the gateway after changing","public_affected_ranges":["< 2026.5.18"]}],"null_published_at":"2026-11-05T19:10:21.464Z","source_updated_at":"2026-07-02T16:43:55.000Z","source_disclosed_at":"2026-07-02T16:43:53.000Z","is_synthetic_fixture":false,"null_last_reviewed_at":null,"public_change_summary":"First indexed by Null; source disclosure date is shown separately.","null_first_observed_at":"2026-11-05T03:47:42.887Z"}],"next_cursor":null,"snapshot_revision":"42594"}
