Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes, but only by authenticated users or systems that can access the Gateway agent endpoints and hold at least operator.write permission. It is not exploitable by completely unauthenticated outsiders.

What level of access is required to exploit this issue?

The attacker must have a valid OpenClaw identity with operator.write privileges. Full administrator (operator.admin) rights are not required, which is the core of the problem.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest pattern is to ensure that all session reset and creation operations that act on arbitrary or non-owned sessions are gated behind a strict operator.admin (or equivalent) check, implemented in a centralized authorization component and applied uniformly for /reset and /new when a sessionKey is present.
