AI-suggested

Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.8.1 or later where this issue is fixed. No other mitigation is required as the fix addresses the root cause by removing the inclusion of deterministic hashes in redacted configuration responses.

Description

OpenClaw (npm package openclaw) before 2026.8.1 could include deterministic hashes computed over the original, unredacted configuration in redacted configuration responses. When the Gateway password had low entropy and the remaining configuration values were reconstructable, these hashes acted as offline password verifiers: a caller able to obtain the redacted configuration (for example via config.get) could test password candidates offline without going through the rate-limited Gateway authentication path. Recovering the password could grant the documented shared-secret operator authority. Secret references were not affected in the same way. The issue is fixed in 2026.8.1.
