{"id":"CVE-2026-32905","aliases":["GHSA-xr4f-mjxj-w6w5"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-32905","summary":"OpenClaw < 2026.5.4 - Unauthorized Device-Pairing Bootstrap Code Issuance via Chat Command","details":"### Summary\n\nThe bundled device-pair plugin exposed `/pair` on normal chat command surfaces. In affected releases, authorized non-owner chat senders could issue device-pairing bootstrap codes without having owner, admin, or pairing scope.\n\nThis issue does not affect unauthenticated users. The caller must already be allowed to send commands to the agent through a configured chat channel.\n\n### Affected configurations\n\nThis affects deployments where the bundled device-pair plugin is enabled and a non-owner sender is authorized to use normal chat commands, such as in a configured Telegram, Discord, or Slack agent.\n\n### Impact\n\nA non-owner authorized sender could create a setup code and use it before expiry to enroll a device with operator/node capabilities. That device would then retain persistent credentials until removed.\n\n### Patched Versions\n\nThe first stable patched version is `2026.5.4`.\n\n### Mitigations\n\nUpgrade to `openclaw@2026.5.4` or later. Review paired devices and remove any unexpected entries. In shared chat channels, keep command access limited to users who should be allowed to manage device pairing.","published":"2026-05-29T15:09:02.968Z","modified":"2026-09-25T03:30:24.585809031Z","cvss":null,"epss":{"score":0.00239,"percentile":0.15111,"asOf":"2026-09-17"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.5.4"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/32xxx/CVE-2026-32905.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-xr4f-mjxj-w6w5"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32905"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-unauthorized-device-pairing-bootstrap-code-issuance-via-chat-command"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-09-25T03:30:24.585809031Z"}}
