{"id":"GHSA-jv6r-27ww-4gw4","summary":"OpenClaw DM pairing-store identities could satisfy group allowlist authorization","details":"## Summary\nDM pairing-store identities were incorrectly eligible for group allowlist authorization checks, enabling cross-context authorization in group message paths.\n\n## Details\nIn affected versions, group allowlist evaluation could inherit identities from the DM pairing store. A sender approved via DM pairing could satisfy group sender allowlist checks without being explicitly present in `groupAllowFrom`.\n\nThis is an authorization-policy boundary issue between DM pairing and group allowlists.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n- `openclaw` (npm): affected `\u003c= 2026.2.25` (latest published npm version at triage time)\n- `openclaw` (npm): patched `\u003e= 2026.2.26` (planned next release)\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n- `openclaw/openclaw@8bdda7a651c21e98faccdbbd73081e79cffe8be0`\n- `openclaw/openclaw@051fdcc428129446e7c084260f837b7284279ce9`\n\n## Release Process Note\n`patched_versions` is pre-set to the planned next release (`2026.2.26`) so once npm release is published, maintainers can publish the advisory without additional metadata edits.\n\n## Maintainer Timeline Note\nMaintainers landed the initial fix before this report was filed; this report still provided useful independent confirmation of the issue class and exploit path.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.","aliases":["CVE-2026-32027"],"modified":"2026-03-25T19:48:10.358785Z","published":"2026-03-03T19:17:22Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-03T19:17:22Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-03-19T22:16:37Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-22","CWE-285","CWE-863"],"severity":"HIGH"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-jv6r-27ww-4gw4"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32027"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/051fdcc428129446e7c084260f837b7284279ce9"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/8bdda7a651c21e98faccdbbd73081e79cffe8be0"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-improper-authorization-via-dm-pairing-store-identity-inheritance-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":{"last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 2026.2.25","source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-jv6r-27ww-4gw4/GHSA-jv6r-27ww-4gw4.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
