Summary
OpenClaw before 2026.3.12 embeds long-lived shared gateway credentials directly in pairing setup codes generated by /pair endpoint and OpenClaw qr command. Attackers with access to leaked setup codes from chat history, logs, or screenshots can recover and reuse the shared gateway credential outside the intended one-time pairing flow.
