CVE-2026-53862

0th percentile — higher than 0% of all known CVEs

OpenClaw before version 2026.5.12 contains a bootstrap token replay vulnerability allowing callers with pending token access to reuse tokens with broader requested scopes. Attackers can replay bootstrap tokens before approval to escalate pairing authority beyond intended scope limits.

Organizations may be exposed to unauthorized access and privilege escalation, potentially leading to serious security breaches. Exploitation of this vulnerability could result in loss of control over the system and data.

It is recommended to update OpenClaw to version 2026.5.12 or later to mitigate this vulnerability. A security audit should also be conducted to identify potential exposures related to the use of bootstrap tokens.
