Description

Summary

DM pairing-store identities were incorrectly eligible for group allowlist authorization checks, enabling cross-context authorization in group message paths.

Details

In 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.

This is an authorization-policy boundary issue between DM pairing and group allowlists.

Release Process Note

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.

Maintainer Timeline Note

Maintainers landed the initial fix before this report was filed; this report still provided useful independent confirmation of the issue class and exploit path.

OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
