📋 Description

Summary

Gateway Backend Reconnect lets Non-Admin Operator Scopes Self-Claim operator.admin

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw
  • Affected versions: <= 2026.3.24
  • First patched version: 2026.3.25
  • Latest published npm version at verification time: 2026.3.24

Details

Backend-labeled reconnects could previously self-request broader scopes and bypass pairing, allowing non-admin operators to reconnect as operator.admin. Commit d3d8e316bd819d3c7e34253aeb7eccb2510f5f48 removes the backend self-pairing skip and requires pairing when requested scopes exceed the approved baseline.

Verified vulnerable on tag v2026.3.24 and fixed on main by commit d3d8e316bd819d3c7e34253aeb7eccb2510f5f48.
