OpenClaw < 2026.2.26 - Node Reconnect Metadata Spoofing via Unsigned Platform Fields

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.26 contain a metadata spoofing vulnerability where reconnect platform and deviceFamily fields are accepted from the client without being bound into the device-auth signature. An attacker with a paired node identity on the trusted network can spoof reconnect metadata to bypass platform-based node command policies and gain access to restricted commands.
