CVE-2026-53852: OpenClaw: Empty-scope device re-pairing could confuse caller scope containment

June 18, 2026

Empty-scope device re-pairing could confuse caller scope containment. In affected versions, a device re-pairing request with an empty scope set could skip the intended containment guard during re-pairing.

This advisory is scoped to the named feature and configuration. It does not change OpenClaw’s trusted-operator model: authenticated Gateway operators, installed plugins, and intentional local execution surfaces remain trusted unless a separate policy, approval, allowlist, sandbox, or auth boundary is crossed.
