## Summary `/phone arm`/`/phone disarm` Bypasses `operator.admin` Scope Check for External Channels

## Current Maintainer Triage - Status: open - Normalized severity: medium - Assessment: Maintainers accepted this issue, fixed it in aa66ae1fc797d3298cc409ed2c5da69a89950a45 on 2026-03-27, and that fix shipped in v2026.3.28, so normalize it as a fixed released draft rather than a close-by-trust-model call.

## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published npm version: `2026.3.31` - Vulnerable version range: `<=2026.3.24` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.28` - First stable tag containing the fix: `v2026.3.28`

## Release Process Note - The fix is already present in released version `2026.3.28`. - This draft looks ready for final maintainer disposition or publication, not additional code-fix work.

Thanks @AntAISecurityLab for reporting.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the /phone arm and /phone disarm endpoints that fails to properly enforce operator.admin scope checks for external channels. Attackers can bypass authentication restrictions to arm or disarm phone channels without proper administrative privileges.
