Published

OpenClaw before 2026.5.4 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the bundled device-pair plugin that allows non-owner authorized chat senders to issue device-pairing bootstrap codes without proper scope validation. Attackers with chat command access can create setup codes to enroll devices with operator/node capabilities, granting persistent credentials until manual removal.

### Summary The bundled device-pair plugin exposed `/pair` on normal chat command surfaces. In affected releases, authorized non-owner chat senders could issue device-pairing bootstrap codes without having owner, admin, or pairing scope. This issue does not affect unauthenticated users. The caller must already be allowed to send commands to the agent through a configured chat channel. ### Affected configurations This affects deployments where the bundled device-pair plugin is enabled and a non-owner sender is authorized to use normal chat commands, such as in a configured Telegram, Discord, or Slack agent. ### Impact A non-owner authorized sender could create a setup code and use it before expiry to enroll a device with operator/node capabilities. That device would then retain persistent credentials until removed. ### Patched Versions The first stable patched version is `2026.5.4`. ### Mitigations Upgrade to `[email protected]` or later. Review paired devices and remove any unexpected entries. In shared chat channels, keep command access limited to users who should be allowed to manage device pairing.
