OpenClaw: Device-Paired Node Skips Node Scope Gate → Host RCE.md
## Summary Device-Paired Node Skips Node Scope Gate → Host RCE.md ## Current Maintainer Triage - Status: open - Normalized severity: high - Assessment: Real in shipped v2026.3.28 because a merely device-paired node could expose node commands without node pairing, but high is sufficient given the pairing/setup prerequisites. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published npm version: `2026.3.31` - Vulnerable version range: `<=2026.3.28` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.31` - First stable tag containing the fix: `v2026.3.31` ## Fix Commit(s) - `3886b65ef21d02808c1a106fa1f9f69e22f71c32` — 2026-03-30T17:29:28+01:00 OpenClaw thanks @AntAISecurityLab for reporting.
