CVE-2026-32006
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.26 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability where DM pairing-store identities are incorrectly treated as group allowlist identities when dmPolicy=pairing and groupPolicy=allowlist.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.29%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.26 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability where DM pairing-store identities are incorrectly treated as group allowlist identities when dmPolicy=pairing and groupPolicy=allowlist. Remote attackers can send messages and reactions as DM-paired identities without explicit groupAllowFrom membership to bypass group sender authorization checks.
