## Technical details

The mcp.app.view method in OpenClaw before 2026.9.4 fails to properly validate authorization scopes when issuing and redeeming standalone tickets. An attacker with an operator.read token can obtain a ticket from mcp.app.view and redeem it at the MCP app view endpoint to bypass authorization checks and invoke operator.write-scoped tools without proper permission validation.
