Description

OpenClaw supports Discord allowlists using either user IDs or names/tags. Name/tag matching depends on slug normalization, so different user tags can collide to the same slug and unintentionally satisfy a name-based allowlist entry.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected versions: <= 2026.2.21-2
  • Patched versions: >= 2026.2.22

What Changed

  • openclaw security audit now warns on Discord name/tag allowlist entries (DM allowlists, guild/channel users, and pairing-store entries).
  • Runtime authorization now prefers resolved user IDs when a configured name/tag can be resolved, without rewriting config files on disk.
  • Name-based entries remain supported for compatibility.

Recommendations

  • Prefer stable Discord user IDs for security-sensitive allowlists.
  • Run openclaw security audit and address warnings where practical.
