Overview

openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the global Active Memory toggle mutations, which omit owner authorization checks. An authorized non-owner external-channel sender can persistently enable or disable Active Memory for the Gateway, disabling memory recall for future sessions or re-enabling global recall where the owner expected it to remain disabled. The issue is scoped to persistent global on and off mutations; session-level controls and read-only status remain governed by existing command policy.
