## Summary Gateway Backend Reconnect lets Non-Admin Operator Scopes Self-Claim operator.admin ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` - Affected versions: `<= 2026.3.24` - First patched version: `2026.3.25` - Latest published npm version at verification time: `2026.3.24` ## Details Backend-labeled reconnects could previously self-request broader scopes and bypass pairing, allowing non-admin operators to reconnect as `operator.admin`. Commit `d3d8e316bd819d3c7e34253aeb7eccb2510f5f48` removes the backend self-pairing skip and requires pairing when requested scopes exceed the approved baseline. Verified vulnerable on tag `v2026.3.24` and fixed on `main` by commit `d3d8e316bd819d3c7e34253aeb7eccb2510f5f48`. ## Fix Commit(s) - `d3d8e316bd819d3c7e34253aeb7eccb2510f5f48`
