GHSA-83w9-h5wv-j9xm: OpenClaw: Node pairing reconnection could confuse approval scope state

July 2, 2026 (updated August 25, 2026)

Node pairing reconnection could confuse approval scope state. In affected versions, a paired or reconnecting node session could mutate pairing state in a way that changed the approval scope decision.

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.
