Description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.26 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the pairing-store access control for direct message pairing policy that allows attackers to reuse pairing approvals across multiple accounts. An attacker approved as a sender in one account can be automatically accepted in another account in multi-account deployments without explicit approval, bypassing authorization boundaries.
Problem types
CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization
