CVE-2026-53852 is a scope containment bypass vulnerability in OpenClaw before version 2026.4.25. The flaw resides in the device re-pairing routine, specifically the processRepairingRequest logic used by re-pairing endpoints including /api/device/repair and /api/v1/auth/repairing. When an authenticated operator submits a re-pairing request with an empty or otherwise falsy scope parameter, the vulnerable authorization logic validates scopes only if requestedScopes exists and has a length greater than zero. If the scope set is empty, the containment check is skipped and the device's previously activeScopes are retained instead of being reduced to the explicitly requested set. This fail-open behavior can preserve or restore broader permissions than intended during re-pairing.
