OpenClaw < 2026.4.15 - Bearer Token Validation Bypass via Stale SecretRef Resolution

Title source: cna
STIX 2.1

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.
