CVE-2026-44994

Description

## Summary Gateway Control UI bootstrap config required Gateway auth. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw (npm) - Affected versions: <= 2026.4.21 - Fixed version: 2026.4.22 ## Impact When Gateway authentication was enabled, the Control UI bootstrap config endpoint could still be read without a valid Gateway token. That response could expose sensitive bootstrap/config fields intended only for authenticated Control UI sessions. ## Fix The bootstrap config route now goes through the same Gateway read-auth path as other authenticated Control UI reads. Regression tests cover unauthenticated rejection, valid-token access, and basePath handling. ## Fix Commit(s) - 2321d67263bc710e357644d59f746b08d891051b ## Verification - The fix commit is contained in the public v2026.4.22 tag. - openclaw@2026.4.22 is published on npm and the compiled package contains the fix. - Focused regression coverage for this path passed before publication. OpenClaw thanks @zsxsoft for reporting.
