Summary
OpenClaw Matrix DM allowlist matching could be bypassed in certain configurations.
Matrix support ships as an optional plugin (not bundled with the core install), so this only affects deployments that have installed and enabled the Matrix plugin.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected:
>= 2026.1.14-1, < 2026.2.2 - Patched:
>= 2026.2.2
Details
In affected versions, DM allowlist decisions could be made by exact-matching
channels.matrix.dm.allowFrom entries against multiple sender-derived candidates, including:- The sender display name (attacker-controlled and non-unique)
- The sender MXID localpart with the homeserver discarded, so
@alice:evil.exampleand@alice:trusted.exampleboth matchalice
If an operator configured
channels.matrix.dm.allowFrom with display names or bare localparts (for example, "Alice" or "alice"), a remote Matrix user may be able to impersonate an allowed identity for allowlist purposes and reach the routing/agent pipeline.Impact
Matrix DM allowlist identity confusion. The practical impact depends on your Matrix channel policies and what capabilities are enabled downstream.
Mitigation
- Upgrade to
openclaw >= 2026.2.2. - Ensure Matrix allowlists contain only full Matrix user IDs (MXIDs) like
@user:server(or*). Do not use display names or bare localparts.
