CVE-2026-32028: OpenClaw < 2026.2.25 - Missing Authorization Check in Discord DM Reaction Ingress

• Severity: medium (CVSS 5.3 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.2% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-03-19 · updated 2026-06-17
• Weakness: CWE-863

Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25 fail to enforce dmPolicy and allowFrom authorization checks on Discord direct-message reaction notifications, allowing non-allowlisted users to enqueue reaction-derived system events. Attackers can exploit this inconsistency by reacting to bot-authored DM messages to bypass DM authorization restrictions and trigger downstream automation or tool policies.

Affected products

• OpenClaw: before 2026.2.25 — fixed in 2026.2.25

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: OpenClaw 2026.2.25. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
