Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose operational metrics without the required read permission.
The vulnerability exists due to missing authorization in the OpenClaw Prometheus diagnostics plugin when handling requests to its authenticated metrics endpoint. A remote user can request the diagnostics document using a Gateway identity whose effective role lacks operator.read to retrieve operational metrics that should be restricted.
The exposure applies to deployments using trusted-proxy or another identity-bearing authentication mode; shared-secret Gateway callers do not create this condition.
