{"id":"GHSA-wpph-cjgr-7c39","summary":"OpenClaw's typed sender-key matching for toolsBySender prevents identity-collision policy bypass","details":"### Summary\n`channels.*.groups.*.toolsBySender` could match a privileged sender policy using a colliding mutable identity value (for example `senderName` or `senderUsername`) when deployments used untyped keys.\n\nThe fix introduces explicit typed sender keys (`id:`, `e164:`, `username:`, `name:`), keeps legacy untyped keys on a deprecated ID-only path, and adds regression coverage to prevent cross-identifier collisions.\n\n### Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: npm `openclaw`\n- Affected versions: `\u003c= 2026.2.21-2`\n- Latest published npm version at triage time (February 22, 2026): `2026.2.21-2`\n- Patched version (planned next release): `2026.2.22`\n\n### Impact\nThis is a sender-authorization bypass in group tool policy matching for deployments that use `toolsBySender` with untyped keys. Under those conditions, an attacker could inherit stronger tool permissions intended for another sender if they can force an identifier collision.\n\n### Fix Commit(s)\n- `5547a2275cb69413af3b62c795b93214fe913b57`\n\n### Release Process Note\n`patched_versions` is pre-set to the planned next release (`2026.2.22`). Once that npm release is published, this advisory should only need publishing.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @jiseoung for reporting.","aliases":["CVE-2026-32039"],"modified":"2026-03-30T13:34:42.411361Z","published":"2026-03-03T23:12:21Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-03T23:12:21Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-03-19T22:16:40Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-639","CWE-863"],"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-wpph-cjgr-7c39"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32039"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/5547a2275cb69413af3b62c795b93214fe913b57"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-sender-authorization-bypass-via-identity-collision-in-toolsbysender"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.2.22"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-wpph-cjgr-7c39/GHSA-wpph-cjgr-7c39.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
