### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-hc5h-pmr3-3497. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ### Original Description OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the /pair approve command path that fails to forward caller scopes into the core approval check. A caller with pairing privileges but without admin privileges can approve pending device requests asking for broader scopes including admin access by exploiting the missing scope validation in extensions/device-pair/index.ts and src/infra/device-pairing.ts.
