GHSA-PJVX-RX66-R3FG
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-09 19:54 – Updated: 2026-03-09 19:54Summary
/allowlist ... --store resolved the selected channel accountId for reads, but store writes still dropped that accountId and wrote into the legacy unscoped pairing allowlist store.
Because default-account reads still merge legacy unscoped entries, a store entry intended for one account could silently authorize the same sender on the default account.
This is a real cross-account sender-authorization scoping bug. Severity is set to medium because exploitation requires an already-authorized user who can run /allowlist edits.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Latest published version checked:
2026.3.2 - Affected versions:
<= 2026.3.2 - Fixed on
main: March 7, 2026 in70da80bcb5574a10925469048d2ebb2abf882e73 - Patched release:
2026.3.7
Details
The affected path was:
- src/auto-reply/reply/commands-allowlist.ts:386-393 resolved accountId and read store state with it
- src/auto-reply/reply/commands-allowlist.ts:697-702 and src/auto-reply/reply/commands-allowlist.ts:730-733 wrote store state without passing accountId
- src/pairing/pairing-store.ts:231-234 and src/pairing/pairing-store.ts:534-554 still merged legacy unscoped allowlist entries into the default account
The fix scopes /allowlist ... --store writes to the resolved account and clears legacy default-account store entries on removal so legacy reads no longer create cross-account authorization bleed-through.
Impact
- Vulnerability class: improper authorization scoping / incorrect authorization
- Exploitation requires: an already-authorized sender who can run
/allowlistedits - Security effect: unintended authorization expansion from one channel account into
default
