OpenClaw: Paired node escalates to gateway RCE via unrestricted node.event agent dispatch
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
Paired node escalates to gateway RCE via unrestricted node.event agent dispatch
## Current Maintainer Triage
- Status: narrow
- Normalized severity: high
- Assessment: v2026.3.28 still lets paired role=node clients drive node.event agent.request into broader gateway-side tool access than node RPCs, but critical is overstated because a trusted paired node foothold is already required.
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw` (npm)
- Latest published npm version: `2026.3.31`
- Vulnerable version range: `<=2026.3.28`
- Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.31`
- First stable tag containing the fix: `v2026.3.31`
