OpenClaw: Incomplete scope-clearing fix allows operator.admin escalation via trusted-proxy auth mode
Summary
Incomplete scope-clearing fix allows operator.admin escalation via trusted-proxy auth mode
Current Maintainer Triage
- Normalized severity: high
- Assessment: v2026.3.28 still misses trusted-proxy scope clearing for non-Control-UI clients, so self-declared operator scopes can survive on a real identity-bearing auth path; the complete fix is unreleased.
