{"id":"GHSA-wwfp-w96m-c6x8","summary":"OpenClaw: Pairing pending-request caps were enforced per channel instead of per account","details":"## Summary\n\nBefore OpenClaw 2026.3.31, pending pairing-request caps were enforced per channel file instead of per account. On multi-account channel setups, requests from other accounts could fill the shared pending window and block new pairing challenges on an unaffected account.\n\n## Impact\n\nThis issue could deny new pairing or onboarding on another account until an existing request was approved or expired. It was an availability-only bug; it did not allow cross-account approval, data access, or authorization bypass.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Affected versions: `\u003e= 2026.2.26, \u003c 2026.3.31`\n- Patched versions: `\u003e= 2026.3.31`\n- Latest published npm version: `2026.4.1`\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n\n- `9bc1f896c8cd325dd4761681e9bdb8c425f69785` — scope pending request caps per account\n\n## Release Process Note\n\nThe fix shipped in OpenClaw `2026.3.31` on March 31, 2026. The current published npm release `2026.4.1` from April 1, 2026 also contains the fix.\n\nThanks @smaeljaish771 for reporting.","aliases":["CVE-2026-41346"],"modified":"2026-05-06T23:41:28.336378Z","published":"2026-04-07T18:14:44Z","database_specific":{"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-04-07T18:14:44Z","nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-799"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-wwfp-w96m-c6x8"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-41346"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/9bc1f896c8cd325dd4761681e9bdb8c425f69785"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-denial-of-service-via-improper-pending-pairing-request-cap-enforcement"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"2026.2.26"},{"fixed":"2026.3.31"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/04/GHSA-wwfp-w96m-c6x8/GHSA-wwfp-w96m-c6x8.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
