CVE-2026-28392
OpenClaw Slack: dmPolicy=open allowed any DM sender to run privileged slash commands
Description
## 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.
