Summary
OpenClaw has a Trusted-proxy Control UI pairing bypass which allows unpaired node sessions
Details

Summary

A trusted-proxy Control UI pairing bypass accepted client.id=control-ui without device identity checks. The bypass did not require operator role, so an authenticated node role session could connect unpaired and reach node event methods.

Impact

With trusted-proxy authentication enabled, a node role websocket client could skip pairing by using client.id=control-ui. That created an authorization boundary bypass from a node-scoped connection into node event execution flows.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected range: <= 2026.2.24
  • Latest published vulnerable version: 2026.2.24
  • Patched in next release: 2026.2.25 (pre-set below so this advisory is ready to publish after npm release)

Fix

The trusted-proxy Control UI bypass now additionally requires role === "operator".
