OpenClaw: Gateway operator.write Can Reach Admin-Class Telegram Config and Cron Persistence via send

Summary

Gateway operator.write Can Reach Admin-Class Telegram Config and Cron Persistence via send

Current Maintainer Triage

  • Status: narrow
  • Normalized severity: medium
  • Assessment: Real shipped operator.write to admin-class Telegram config or cron persistence bug, but it is an authenticated sink-specific escalation and high is too high given the narrower scope.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Latest published npm version: 2026.3.31
  • Vulnerable version range: <=2026.3.24
  • Patched versions: >= 2026.3.28
  • First stable tag containing the fix: v2026.3.28

  • b7d70ade3b9900dbe97bd73be9c02e924ff3c986 — 2026-03-25T12:12:09-06:00

Release Process Note

  • The fix is already present in released version 2026.3.28.
  • This draft looks ready for final maintainer disposition or publication, not additional code-fix work.
