OpenClaw: Gateway HTTP endpoints re-resolve bearer auth after SecretRef rotation
Summary
Gateway HTTP and WebSocket handlers captured the resolved bearer-auth configuration when the server started. After a SecretRef rotation, the already-running gateway could continue accepting the old bearer token until restart.
Impact
A bearer token that should have been revoked by SecretRef rotation could remain valid on the gateway HTTP and upgrade surfaces for the lifetime of the process. Severity remains high because the old token could continue to authorize gateway requests after operators believed it was rotated out.

Fix
OpenClaw 2026.4.15 resolves active gateway auth from the runtime secret snapshot per request and per upgrade instead of using a stale startup-time value.
Verified in v2026.4.15:
src/gateway/server.impl.tsexposesgetResolvedAuth()backed by the current runtime secret snapshot.src/gateway/server-http.tscallsgetResolvedAuth()for each HTTP request and WebSocket upgrade before running auth checks.src/gateway/server-http.probe.test.tsverifies/readyre-resolves bearer auth after rotation and rejects the old token.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.15 captures resolved bearer-auth configuration at startup, allowing revoked tokens to remain valid after SecretRef rotation. Gateway HTTP and WebSocket handlers fail to re-resolve authentication per-request, enabling attackers to use rotated-out bearer tokens for unauthorized gateway access.
