What is CVE-2026-41909?

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.4.20 exhibit an improper authorization vulnerability in their paired-device pairing management. This flaw permits attackers who already have access through paired devices to enumerate and manipulate pairing requests beyond their intended scope. Specifically, it allows limited-scope sessions to interact with unrelated pending device requests within the same gateway, which can lead to unauthorized actions and potentially compromise device integrity.
