## Overview

## Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-x629-46cc-7xgw. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

## Original Description
OpenClaw before 2026.5.6 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Active Memory write scope that allows Gateway operators with operator.write access to modify global configuration without requiring operator.admin privileges. Attackers with operator.write access can exploit insufficient scope validation to apply unauthorized configuration changes beyond the intended write scope.

## Affected packages

- `openclaw <= 2026.5.5`

## Remediation

Refer to the advisory for the patched release.
