Summary
OpenClaw: Gateway plugin HTTP `auth: gateway` widens identity-bearing `operator.read` requests into runtime `operator.write`
Details

Impact

Gateway plugin HTTP auth: gateway widens identity-bearing operator.read requests into runtime operator.write.

Plugin HTTP routes using gateway auth could receive runtime write scopes even when the upstream trusted-proxy request only declared read.

OpenClaw is a user-controlled local assistant. This advisory is scoped to the OpenClaw trust model and does not assume a multi-tenant service boundary.
