Description
OpenClaw before 2026.6.5 could forward Authorization headers during MCP SSE redirects. When the affected feature is enabled and reachable, a lower-trust caller or configured input path could execute or persist actions beyond the caller's intended authorization. Impact depends on the operator's configuration and whether lower-trust input can reach the affected path.
