{"id":"GHSA-25pw-4h6w-qwvm","summary":"OpenClaw has a BlueBubbles group allowlist mismatch via DM pairing-store fallback","details":"### Summary\nIn `openclaw@2026.2.25`, BlueBubbles group authorization could incorrectly treat DM pairing-store identities as group allowlist identities when `dmPolicy=pairing` and `groupPolicy=allowlist`.\n\nA sender that was only DM-paired (not explicitly present in `groupAllowFrom`) could pass group sender checks for message and reaction ingress.\n\nPer OpenClaw's `SECURITY.md` trust model, this is a constrained authorization-consistency issue, not a multi-tenant boundary bypass or host-privilege escalation.\n\n### Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Latest published npm version at triage time: `2026.2.25`\n- Affected versions: `\u003c= 2026.2.25`\n- Patched versions: `\u003e= 2026.2.26` (planned next release)\n\n### Technical Details\nRoot cause was DM/group allowlist composition where DM pairing-store identities could flow into group authorization decisions.\n\nFix approach:\n- centralize DM/group authorization composition via shared resolvers\n- remove local DM/group list recomposition at channel callsites\n- add cross-channel regression coverage for message + reaction ingress\n- add CI guard to block future pairing-store leakage into group auth composition\n\n### Impact\n- Affects deployments using BlueBubbles with `groupPolicy=allowlist` and `dmPolicy=pairing` when pairing-store entries are present.\n- Could allow DM-authorized identities to be treated as group-authorized without explicit `groupAllowFrom` membership.\n- Does **not** bypass gateway auth, sandbox boundaries, or create new host-level privilege beyond existing DM authorization.\n\n### Fix Commit(s)\n- `051fdcc428129446e7c084260f837b7284279ce9`\n\n### Release Process Note\n`patched_versions` is pre-set to the planned next release (`2026.2.26`) so once npm `2026.2.26` is published, this advisory can be published without further content edits.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.","aliases":["CVE-2026-32006"],"modified":"2026-03-30T14:07:08.243253Z","published":"2026-03-03T22:54:46Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-03T22:54:46Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-03-19T22:16:33Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-863"],"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-25pw-4h6w-qwvm"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32006"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/051fdcc428129446e7c084260f837b7284279ce9"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/1aadf26f9acc399affabd859937a09468a9c5cb4"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-authorization-bypass-via-dm-pairing-store-fallback-in-group-allowlist"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.2.26"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-25pw-4h6w-qwvm/GHSA-25pw-4h6w-qwvm.json","last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 2026.2.25"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
