Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.4.10

Description An authorization bypass exists where gateway 'operator.write' message-tool paths can access Matrix profile persistence, which should require admin-level authority. This occurs due to insufficient access controls, allowing attackers to mutate persistent profile configuration through non-owner message-tool runs.
