Description
## 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` ## Fix Commit(s) - `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. Thanks @zpbrent for reporting.
