Summary Duplicate Advisory: Empty-scope device re-pairing could confuse caller scope containment ## Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-8mg9-j9cf-54cj. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original 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.
