CVE-2026-32028
OpenClaw: Discord DM reaction ingress missed dmPolicy/allowFrom checks in restricted setups
Description
### Summary In OpenClaw `<= 2026.2.24`, Discord direct-message reaction notifications did not consistently apply the same DM authorization checks (`dmPolicy` / `allowFrom`) that are enforced for normal DM message ingress. In restrictive DM setups, a non-allowlisted Discord user who can react to a bot-authored DM message could still enqueue a reaction-derived system event in the session. This is a reaction-only ingress inconsistency. By itself it does not directly execute commands; practical impact depends on downstream automation/tool policy. ### Details The DM message path already enforces `dmPolicy`/`allowFrom` authorization, but the DM reaction-notification path previously allowed event enqueue under reaction mode checks without that same authorization gate. Fix in `main` aligns reaction ingress with normal message preflight for Discord DM/group-DM/guild policy boundaries and applies equivalent DM reaction authorization hardening for Slack to keep channel behavior consistent. ### Affected Packages / Versions - `npm` package: `openclaw` - Affected: `<= 2026.2.24` - Patched: `>= 2026.2.25` ### Fix Commit(s) - `aedf62ac7e669a89c7b299201bf6537dc6b12e0e` ### Release Process Note `patched_versions` is pre-set to the release (`2026.2.25`) so after npm release the advisory is published.
