CVE-2026-33575 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.12 embeds long-lived shared gateway credentials directly in pairing setup codes generated by /pair endpoint and OpenClaw qr command. Attackers with access to leaked setup codes from chat history, logs, or screenshots can recover and reuse the shared gateway credential outside the intended one-time pairing flow.
A vulnerability in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.12 allows for the exposure of long-lived shared gateway credentials within pairing setup codes generated by the '/pair' endpoint and the 'OpenClaw qr' command. This issue arises because the credentials are embedded directly in the setup codes, which can be accessed through chat history, logs, or screenshots. Attackers who obtain these setup codes can recover and misuse the shared gateway credentials, bypassing the intended one-time pairing process.
Users are advised to update to OpenClaw version 2026.3.12 or later, and to rotate any shared gateway credentials that may have been exposed before the update.
