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.

• Latest published npm version: 2026.3.31
• Vulnerable version range: <=2026.3.28
• Patched versions: >= 2026.3.31
