Summary
## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `< 2026.4.20` - Patched version: `2026.4.20` ## Impact A paired device session with limited pairing scope could enumerate global pairing state and act on pairing requests that belonged to another device within the same gateway scope ceiling. This is a same-gateway paired-device authorization bug, not a remote unauthenticated issue. Severity is low. ## Fix Pairing management actions are now limited to the caller device, so non-admin paired-device sessions cannot approve or operate on unrelated pending device requests. Fix commit: - `5a12f30441d5b0b151f550daa2c5c9e8db61e2e6` ## Release Fixed in OpenClaw `2026.4.20`.
