CVE-2026-53852 | THREATINT

Description

OpenClaw before 2026.4.25 contains a scope containment bypass vulnerability in device re-pairing that allows authenticated operators to restore broader scopes than intended by submitting empty-scope re-pairing requests. Attackers can exploit this by sending re-pairing requests with empty scope sets to skip containment guards and retain unauthorized device access.
