GHSA-v6x2-2qvm-6gv8
Summary OpenClaw reuses the gateway auth token in the owner ID prompt hashing fallback - Auth-secret dual-use across security domains (gateway auth and prompt metadata hashing). - Hash outputs are visible to third-party model providers in system prompts. - No direct plaintext token disclosure. - Practical risk is highest when operators use weak gateway tokens and leave owner hash secret unset.
