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`","aliases":["CVE-2026-35625"],"modified":"2026-07-08T08:27:07.326844167Z","published":"2026-03-27T22:29:47Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-27T22:29:47Z","nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-863"],"severity":"CRITICAL"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-fqw4-mph7-2vr8"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/81ebc7e0344fd19c85778e883bad45e2da972229"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"2026.3.24"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-fqw4-mph7-2vr8/GHSA-fqw4-mph7-2vr8.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H"}]}
