@@ -35,6 +35,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Security/exec approvals: escape invisible Unicode format characters in approval prompts so zero-width command text renders as visible `\u{...}` escapes instead of spoofing the reviewed command. (`GHSA-pcqg-f7rg-xfvv`)(#43687) Thanks @EkiXu and @vincentkoc.
 - Security/exec detection: normalize compatibility Unicode and strip invisible formatting code points before obfuscation checks so zero-width and fullwidth command tricks no longer suppress heuristic detection. (`GHSA-9r3v-37xh-2cf6`)(#44091) Thanks @wooluo and @vincentkoc.
 - Security/exec allowlist: preserve POSIX case sensitivity and keep `?` within a single path segment so exact-looking allowlist patterns no longer overmatch executables across case or directory boundaries. (`GHSA-f8r2-vg7x-gh8m`)(#43798) Thanks @zpbrent and @vincentkoc.
+- Security/commands: require sender ownership for `/config` and `/debug` so authorized non-owner senders can no longer reach owner-only config and runtime debug surfaces. (`GHSA-r7vr-gr74-94p8`)(#44305) Thanks @tdjackey and @vincentkoc.
 - Security/gateway auth: clear unbound client-declared scopes on shared-token WebSocket connects so device-less shared-token operators cannot self-declare elevated scopes. (`GHSA-rqpp-rjj8-7wv8`)(#44306) Thanks @LUOYEcode and @vincentkoc.
 - Security/browser.request: block persistent browser profile create/delete routes from write-scoped `browser.request` so callers can no longer persist admin-only browser profile changes through the browser control surface. (`GHSA-vmhq-cqm9-6p7q`)(#43800) Thanks @tdjackey and @vincentkoc.
 - Security/agent: reject public spawned-run lineage fields and keep workspace inheritance on the internal spawned-session path so external `agent` callers can no longer override the gateway workspace boundary. (`GHSA-2rqg-gjgv-84jm`)(#43801) Thanks @tdjackey and @vincentkoc.
