OpenClaw: Paired node escalates to gateway RCE via unrestricted node.event agent dispatch
Summary
Paired node escalates to gateway RCE via unrestricted node.event agent dispatch
Current Maintainer Triage
- Status: narrow
- Normalized severity: high
- Assessment: v2026.3.28 still lets paired role=node clients drive node.event agent.request into broader gateway-side tool access than node RPCs, but critical is overstated because a trusted paired node foothold is already required.
