OpenClaw < 2026.4.25 - Scope Bypass via Empty-Scope Device Re-pairing

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

OpenClaw before 2026.4.25 contains a scope containment bypass vulnerability in device re-pairing that allows authenticated operators to restore broader scopes than intended by submitting empty-scope re-pairing requests. Attackers can exploit this by sending re-pairing requests with empty scope sets to skip containment guards and retain unauthorized device access.
