  "details": "## Summary\n\nGateway local shared-auth reconnect silently widens paired device scope from operator.read to operator.admin and reach node RCE\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: `openclaw`\n- Affected versions: `\u003c= 2026.3.24`\n- First patched version: `2026.3.25`\n- Latest published npm version at verification time: `2026.3.24`\n\n## Details\n\nSilent local shared-auth reconnects could previously auto-approve `scope-upgrade` requests and widen a paired device from `operator.read` to `operator.admin`. 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`",
