CVE-2026-41404

Description

## Summary Incomplete scope-clearing fix allows operator.admin escalation via trusted-proxy auth mode ## Current Maintainer Triage - Normalized severity: high - Assessment: v2026.3.28 still misses trusted-proxy scope clearing for non-Control-UI clients, so self-declared operator scopes can survive on a real identity-bearing auth path; the complete fix is unreleased. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published npm version: `2026.3.31` - Vulnerable version range: `<=2026.3.28` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.31` - First stable tag containing the fix: `v2026.3.31` ## Fix Commit(s) - `8b88b927cb0747ad24d95b07d35682bf85dc5b0e` — 2026-03-30T14:19:00+01:00 OpenClaw thanks @north-echo for reporting.
