Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-29 15:30 – Updated: 2026-03-29 15:30

Details

OpenClaw before 2026.3.12 contains a weak authorization vulnerability in Zalouser allowlist mode that matches mutable group display names instead of stable group identifiers. Attackers can create groups with identical names to allowlisted groups to bypass channel authorization and route messages from unintended groups to the agent.

Severity ?

9.8 (Critical)
