OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the trusted-proxy Control UI pairing mechanism that accepts client.id=control-ui without proper device identity verification. An authenticated node role websocket client can exploit this by using the control-ui client identifier to skip pairing requirements and gain unauthorized access to node event execution flows.
