Summary
OpenClaw DM pairing-store identities could satisfy group allowlist authorization
Details

Summary

DM pairing-store identities were incorrectly eligible for group allowlist authorization checks, enabling cross-context authorization in group message paths.

Details

In affected versions, group allowlist evaluation could inherit identities from the DM pairing store. A sender approved via DM pairing could satisfy group sender allowlist checks without being explicitly present in groupAllowFrom.

This is an authorization-policy boundary issue between DM pairing and group allowlists.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • openclaw (npm): affected <= 2026.2.25 (latest published npm version at triage time)
  • openclaw (npm): patched >= 2026.2.26 (planned next release)

Fix Commit(s)

  • openclaw/openclaw@8bdda7a651c21e98faccdbbd73081e79cffe8be0
  • openclaw/openclaw@051fdcc428129446e7c084260f837b7284279ce9

Release Process Note

patched_versions is pre-set to the planned next release (2026.2.26) so once npm release is published, maintainers can publish the advisory without additional metadata edits.

Maintainer Timeline Note

Maintainers landed the initial fix before this report was filed; this report still provided useful independent confirmation of the issue class and exploit path.

OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.

Summary
OpenClaw: QQBot streaming command could mutate config without explicit allowFrom
Details

Summary

QQBot streaming command could mutate config without explicit allowFrom. In affected versions, a QQBot sender reaching the affected command could change configuration without requiring an explicit non-wildcard allowlist entry.

This advisory is scoped to the named feature and configuration. It does not change OpenClaw's trusted-operator model: authenticated Gateway operators, installed plugins, and intentional local execution surfaces remain trusted unless a separate policy, approval, allowlist, sandbox, or auth boundary is crossed.

Impact

When the affected feature is enabled and reachable, this could modify QQBot streaming configuration outside the intended admin policy. Practical impact depends on the operator's configuration and whether lower-trust input can reach that path.

Patched Versions

The first stable patched version is 2026.4.29.

Mitigations

disable the command or restrict it to explicit trusted QQBot senders until patched. As general hardening, keep channel and tool allowlists narrow, avoid sharing one Gateway between mutually untrusted users, and disable the affected feature when it is not needed.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
  • Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].

Mitigation MIT-4.4
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
  • One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
System Configuration Installation

Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
