EPSS · scored 2026-10-24

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.14 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Slack slash-command handler that incorrectly authorizes any direct message sender when dmPolicy is set to open (must be configured). Attackers can execute privileged slash commands via direct message to bypass allowlist and access-group restrictions.

  • WID-SEC-W-2026-0424OpenClaw: Mehrere SchwachstellenDeutsch2026-02-15csaf · cert_bundDE

    Ein Angreifer kann diese Schwachstellen in OpenClaw ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen, sich erhöhte Berechtigungen zu verschaffen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Daten zu manipulieren, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand herbeizuführen, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen oder andere, nicht näher bezeichnete Angriffe durchzuführen.

  • GHSA-v773-r54f-q32wOpenClaw Slack: dmPolicy=open allowed any DM sender to run privileged slash commands2026-02-18ghsa · osvUS

    ## Summary When Slack DMs are configured with `dmPolicy=open`, the Slack slash-command handler incorrectly treated any DM sender as command-authorized. This allowed any Slack user who could DM the bot to execute privileged slash commands via DM, bypassing intended allowlist/access-group restrictions. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.13` - Affected configuration: Slack DMs enabled with `channels.slack.dm.policy: open` (aka `dmPolicy=open`) ## Impact Any Slack user in the workspace who can DM the bot could invoke privileged slash commands via DM. ## Fix The slash-command path now computes `CommandAuthorized` for DMs using the same allowlist/access-group gating logic as other inbound paths. Fix commit(s): - f19eabee54c49e9a2e264b4965edf28a2f92e657 ## Release Process Note `patched_versions` is set to the planned next release (`2026.2.14`). Once that npm release is published, this advisory should be published. Thanks @christos-eth for reporting.
