Overview

openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization through the registerPairCommand and resolvePairingCommandAuthState paths in the device-pair command handler. An attacker can generate pairing setup codes, inspect pending pairings, approve requests, or clear/revoke bootstrap tokens by invoking /pair from non-gateway chat surfaces without presenting the operator.pairing scope. This lets an unauthorized user take over device pairing workflows and disrupt or hijack an operator’s pairing state.
