Affected Packages / Versions

openclaw - Affected versions:
<= 2026.3.24 - First patched version:
2026.3.25 - Latest published npm version at verification time:

Details
Gateway plugin subagent fallback deleteSession previously dispatched sessions.delete with a synthetic operator.admin runtime scope when no request-scoped client existed. Commit b5d785f1a59a56c3471f2cef328f7c9a6c15f3e7 binds deletion to the caller scope instead of minting admin scope.
Verified vulnerable on tag v2026.3.24 and fixed on main by commit b5d785f1a59a56c3471f2cef328f7c9a6c15f3e7.
