Aliases CVE-2026-27484
Summary OpenClaw Discord moderation authorization used untrusted sender identity in tool-driven flows ## Overview Discord moderation action handling (`timeout`, `kick`, `ban`) used sender identity from request parameters in tool-driven flows, instead of trusted runtime sender context. ## Impact In setups where Discord moderation actions are enabled and the bot has the necessary guild permissions, a non-admin user could request moderation actions by spoofing sender identity fields. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published affected version (as of 2026-02-19): `2026.2.17` - Affected range: `<=2026.2.17` - Fixed in planned next release: `2026.2.18` ## Fix - Moderation authorization now uses trusted sender context (`requesterSenderId`) instead of untrusted action params. - Added permission checks for required guild capabilities per action. ## Fix Commit(s) - `775816035ecc6bb243843f8000c9a58ff609e32d` Thanks @aether-ai-agent for reporting.
