Summary
OpenClaw: /pair approve command path omitted caller scope subsetting and reopened device pairing escalation
Details

Summary

The /pair approve command path called device approval without forwarding caller scopes into the core approval check.

Impact

A caller that held pairing privileges but not admin privileges could approve a pending device request asking for broader scopes, including admin access.

Affected Component

extensions/device-pair/index.ts, src/infra/device-pairing.ts

Fixed Versions

  • Affected: <= 2026.3.24
  • Patched: >= 2026.3.28
  • Latest stable 2026.3.28 contains the fix.

Fix

Fixed by commit 4ee4960de2 (Pairing: forward caller scopes during approval).

OpenClaw thanks @AntAISecurityLab for reporting.
