CVE-2026-53843 PUBLISHED

OpenClaw < 2026.5.26 - Node Token Revocation Bypass via Pairing-Scoped Device Session

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 10.06.2026 Published: 16.06.2026 Updated: 17.06.2026

OpenClaw before 2026.5.26 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability where a surviving pairing-scoped device session can re-establish node token authority after revocation. Attackers with a paired device can regain WebSocket node-level access without renewed approval, weakening revocation controls and maintaining unauthorized access longer than intended.
