CVE-2026-32027
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.26 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability where DM pairing-store identities are incorrectly eligible for group allowlist authorization checks.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.24%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.26 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability where DM pairing-store identities are incorrectly eligible for group allowlist authorization checks. Attackers can exploit this cross-context authorization flaw by using a sender approved via DM pairing to satisfy group sender allowlist checks without explicit presence in groupAllowFrom, bypassing group message access controls.
