OpenClaw < 2026.3.28 - Insufficient Scope Validation in node.pair.approve
cve-program · CVE-2026-33577
PublishedOpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an insufficient scope validation vulnerability in the node pairing approval path that allows low-privilege operators to approve nodes with broader scopes. Attackers can exploit missing callerScopes validation in node-pairing.ts to extend privileges onto paired nodes beyond their authorization level.

Published## Summary The node pairing approval path did not consistently enforce that the approving caller already held every scope requested by the node. ## Impact A lower-privileged operator could approve a pending node request for broader scopes and extend privileges onto the paired node. ## Affected Component `src/infra/node-pairing.ts, src/gateway/server-methods/nodes.ts` ## Fixed Versions - Affected: `<= 2026.3.24` - Patched: `>= 2026.3.28` - Latest stable `2026.3.28` contains the fix. ## Fix Fixed by commit `4d7cc6bb4f` (`gateway: restrict node pairing approvals`).

Exploitation and risk
Source statusCISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.
Which CVEs have scores here?
This view includes predictions for CVE identifiers explicitly listed in public NuGet advisories. Microsoft release pages have their own prediction coverage. Check source status for the scope and latest checks.
No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.
