Summary
### Summary OpenClaw documented `/config` and `/debug` as owner-only commands, but the command handlers checked only whether the sender was command-authorized. A lower-trust sender who was intentionally allowed to run commands could still reach privileged configuration and debugging surfaces. ### Impact This allowed a non-owner sender to read or change privileged configuration that should have remained restricted to owners. ### Affected versions `openclaw` `<= 2026.3.11` ### Patch Fixed in `openclaw` `2026.3.12`. Owner checks are now enforced for privileged command surfaces, and regression tests cover `/config` and `/debug` access control.
