Commit `81ebc7e0344fd19c85778e883bad45e2da972229` blocks silent reconnect scope upgrades so widened scopes require an explicit pairing approval instead of an implicit local reconnect path.\n\nVerified vulnerable on tag `v2026.3.24` and fixed on `main` by commit `81ebc7e0344fd19c85778e883bad45e2da972229`.\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n\n- `81ebc7e0344fd19c85778e883bad45e2da972229`","published":"2026-04-09T21:26:57.589Z","modified":"2026-10-21T02:56:58.471913104Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":null}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/81ebc7e0344fd19c85778e883bad45e2da972229","label":"openclaw/openclaw@81ebc7e"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/35xxx/CVE-2026-35625.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-fqw4-mph7-2vr8"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35625"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-privilege-escalation-via-silent-local-shared-auth-reconnect"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/81ebc7e0344fd19c85778e883bad45e2da972229"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-10-21T02:56:58.471913104Z"}}
