Affected: OpenClaw

OpenClaw before 2026.4.8 contains an improper authorization vulnerability where the node.pair.approve method accepts operator.write scope instead of the narrower operator.pairing scope, allowing unprivileged users to approve node pairing. Attackers with operator.write permissions can bypass pairing approval restrictions to gain unauthorized access to exec-capable nodes.

 https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/ghsa-67mf-f936-ppxf GHSA-67mf-f936-ppxf — OpenClaw `node.pair.approve` placed in `operator.write` scope instead of `operator.pairing` allows unprivileged pairing… 2026-09-28T18:53:50.863398+00:00

Affected: npm: openclaw

## Impact

OpenClaw `node.pair.approve` placed in `operator.write` scope instead of `operator.pairing` allows unprivileged pairing approval.

The pairing approval method accepted operator.write instead of the narrower pairing scope and admin requirement for exec-capable nodes.

OpenClaw is a user-controlled local assistant. This advisory is scoped to the OpenClaw trust model and does not assume a multi-tenant service boundary.
