CVE-2026-32027

OpenClaw DM pairing-store identities could satisfy group allowlist authorization

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.
