{"id":"GHSA-qj22-xqjr-v83v","summary":"OpenClaw's Telegram message_reaction authorization bypass allows unauthorized system-event injection","details":"A missing sender-authorization check in Telegram `message_reaction` handling allowed unauthorized users to trigger reaction-derived system events.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Introduced: `2026.2.17`\n- Affected: `\u003e= 2026.2.17` and `\u003c= 2026.2.24`\n- Latest published at patch time: `2026.2.24`\n- Patched in release: `2026.2.25`\n\n## Impact\n\nWhen reaction notifications are enabled, unauthorized Telegram senders could inject reaction system events despite configured DM/group authorization controls (`dmPolicy`, `allowFrom`, `groupPolicy`, `groupAllowFrom`).\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n\n- `e56b0cf1a04f992ac6ebc775899f48ea31687640`\n\n## Release Process Note\n\n`patched_versions` is pre-set to the release (`2026.2.25`) so once npm release `2026.2.25` is published, this advisory can be published without further edits.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.","modified":"2026-03-04T15:16:36.504967Z","published":"2026-03-03T18:09:08Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-03T18:09:08Z","nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-863"],"severity":"HIGH"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-qj22-xqjr-v83v"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/e56b0cf1a04f992ac6ebc775899f48ea31687640"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.2.25"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-qj22-xqjr-v83v/GHSA-qj22-xqjr-v83v.json","last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 2026.2.24"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
