Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.26

Description OpenClaw is affected by an authorization bypass issue where DM pairing-store identities are incorrectly eligible for group allowlist authorization checks. This cross-context authorization flaw allows attackers to use a sender approved via DM pairing to satisfy group sender allowlist checks without explicit presence in groupAllowFrom, bypassing group message access controls. The issue stems from group allowlist evaluation inheriting identities from the DM pairing store. The vulnerable component involves authorization-policy boundaries between DM pairing and group allowlists.

Recommendations Versions prior to 2026.2.26 should be updated to version 2026.2.26 or later.
