Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.11 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in device.token.rotate that allows callers with operator.pairing scope to mint tokens with broader scopes by failing to constrain newly minted scopes to the caller's current scope set. Attackers can obtain operator.admin tokens for paired devices and achieve remote code execution on connected nodes via system.run or gain unauthorized gateway-admin access.
Analysis
Privilege escalation in OpenClaw device token rotation (versions before 2026.3.11) enables authenticated attackers with operator.pairing scope to mint tokens with arbitrary elevated scopes, including operator.admin privileges. This scope validation bypass permits remote code execution on connected nodes via system.run API and unauthorized gateway-admin access. …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Identify all OpenClaw deployments and document current versions in use; restrict operator.pairing scope assignments to only essential personnel and audit existing role assignments. Within 7 days: Upgrade all OpenClaw instances to version 2026.3.11 or later; verify successful deployment across all nodes. …
