Description
OpenClaw versions before 2026.4.20 have an improper authorization vulnerability in the paired-device pairing management. This flaw allows attackers with paired-device access to enumerate and act on unrelated pending device pairing requests within the same gateway scope, potentially approving or operating on them without proper authorization.
