CVE-2026-53852
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.4.25 contains a scope containment bypass vulnerability in device re-pairing that allows authenticated operators to restore broader scopes than intended by submitting empty-scope re-pairing requests. Attackers can exploit this by sending re-pairing requests with empty scope sets to skip containment guards and retain unauthorized device access.

Los atacantes pueden explotar esto al enviar solicitudes de re-emparejamiento con conjuntos de alcance vacíos para omitir las protecciones de contención y retener el acceso no autorizado al dispositivo."
