Details
Silent 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.
Verified vulnerable on tag v2026.3.24 and fixed on main by commit 81ebc7e0344fd19c85778e883bad45e2da972229.
