Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-xmxx-7p24-h892. This link is maintained to preserve external references.
Original Description
OpenClaw before 2026.4.15 captures resolved bearer-auth configuration at startup, allowing revoked tokens to remain valid after SecretRef rotation. Gateway HTTP and WebSocket handlers fail to re-resolve authentication per-request, enabling attackers to use rotated-out bearer tokens for unauthorized gateway access.
