Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.11 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in device.token.rotate that allows callers with operator.pairing scope to mint tokens with broader scopes by failing to constrain newly minted scopes to the caller's current scope set. Attackers can obtain operator.admin tokens for paired devices and achieve remote code execution on connected nodes via system.run or gain unauthorized gateway-admin access.
