OpenClaw Gateway `operator.write` can reach admin-only session reset via `chat.send` `/reset`

Summary The chat.send path reused command authorization to trigger /reset session rotation even though direct session reset is an admin-only control-plane operation. Impact A write-scoped gateway caller could rotate a target session, archive the prior transcript state, and force a new session id...

GHSA-6XG4-82HV-CP6F OpenClaw: Gateway chat.send ACP-only provenance guard could be bypassed by client identity spoofing

Summary ACP-only provenance fields in chat.send were gated by self-declared client metadata from the WebSocket handshake rather than verified authorization state. Impact A normal authenticated operator client could spoof ACP identity labels and inject reserved provenance fields intended only for...

GHSA-5H2W-QMFP-GGP6 OpenClaw: Gateway `operator.write` can reach admin-only persisted `verboseLevel` via `chat.send` `/verbose`

GHSA-CXPW-2G23-2VGW OpenClaw: ACP prompt-size checks missing in local stdio bridge could reduce responsiveness with very large inputs

Vulnerability The ACP bridge accepted very large prompt text blocks and could assemble oversized prompt payloads before forwarding them to chat.send. Because ACP runs over local stdio, this mainly affects local ACP clients for example IDE integrations that send unusually large inputs. Affected...
