Summary OpenClaw: `browser.request` let `operator.write` persist admin-only browser profile changes ### Summary An authorization mismatch in the gateway let an authenticated caller with only `operator.write` use `browser.request` to reach browser profile management routes that persist configuration to disk. In practice, this exposed an admin-only configuration write primitive through `/profiles/create`. ### Impact A write-scoped operator could create or modify browser profiles and store attacker-chosen remote CDP endpoints without holding `operator.admin`. ### Affected versions `openclaw` `<= 2026.3.8` ### Patch Fixed in `openclaw` `2026.3.11` and included in later releases such as `2026.3.12`. Browser profile creation now requires the correct admin boundary, and regression tests cover the write-vs-admin authorization split.
