Exploitation Conditions

Requires the OpenClaw LINE integration configured in group allowlist mode with the groupAllowFrom option left unset, combined with a DM allowFrom value that is broader than the intended group access - the vulnerability is the silent fallback of group authorization to DM allowFrom. The attacker must also be a participant in a LINE group that the bot is a member of in order to send the triggering message. Deployments that explicitly configure groupAllowFrom, or whose DM allowFrom is no broader than intended group access, are not exposed; this is a misconfiguration-dependent flaw rather than a default-state remote break.

Impact

This is a genuine but low-severity access-control weakness, not a high-priority emergency. The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N) yields 6.9 (Medium) driven entirely by the network vector and low complexity; actual technical impact is capped at Low confidentiality and Low integrity with no availability effect, so the score overstates real danger. There is no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code in the provided intelligence, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' - no evidence of active or automatable exploitation. The PR:N rating warrants scrutiny: the flaw requires the attacker to already be a participant in a LINE group the bot is in, which is a real-world precondition even if it is not application-level authentication, so raw AV:N/PR:N understates the group-membership gate. Critically this is a configuration-inheritance bug: it only manifests when an operator sets group allowlist mode but leaves groupAllowFrom unset AND has a broader DM allowFrom - a specific misconfiguration, not a universally exploitable default. Net: a real correctness/authorization defect worth patching, but low real-world risk absent the enabling misconfiguration.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An operator deploys the OpenClaw LINE agent, restricting group triggering via allowlist mode but never explicitly setting groupAllowFrom, while leaving DM allowFrom broad. An attacker who is (or joins) a group the bot participates in sends a triggering message; because group authorization silently falls back to the broader DM allowFrom list, the agent responds despite the intended group restriction. No public exploit code is known, and the attack requires only ordinary group participation and a crafted message.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 26, 2026

OpenClaw LINE before 2026.8.1 silently falls back to the DM allowFrom configuration for group authorization whenever groupAllowFrom is left unset, letting group participants trigger the agent despite an intended group allowlist. Exploitation requires the bot deployment to run in group allowlist mode with groupAllowFrom unset and a broader DM allowFrom, plus the attacker being a member of a LINE group the bot participates in; deployments that explicitly set groupAllowFrom or whose DM allowFrom is no broader than the intended group scope are not exposed. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and there is no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV), though a vendor patch is available in 2026.8.1.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade OpenClaw LINE to 2026.8.1 or later, per the GitHub advisory GHSA-fgwg-c3wv-8f45 and the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-line-before-2026.8.1-access-control-inheritance). If an immediate upgrade is not possible, the effective mitigation is configuration-based: explicitly set groupAllowFrom in the LINE integration so it no longer falls back to DM allowFrom, and additionally audit DM allowFrom to confirm it is no broader than the group access you intend to grant - this closes the inheritance path but requires operators to know and restate the intended group scope. Where group access is not needed at all, disabling group participation for the bot (or removing the bot from LINE groups) removes the attack surface entirely, at the cost of losing group functionality. Because the underlying issue is a fail-open default rather than a code-execution primitive, no network-level filtering is a substitute for setting groupAllowFrom explicitly on unpatched instances.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is an instance of CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) in the OpenClaw LINE agent integration, an access-control layer that decides whether an inbound LINE message from a group is allowed to invoke the agent. When the operator selects group allowlist mode but omits the groupAllowFrom option, the code does not fail closed or reject the message; it inherits the DM allowFrom list as the effective group policy. Because DM allowlists are frequently broader than group allowlists (for example, allowing any direct message sender while group access is meant to be restricted to a small set of chat groups), the group restriction intended by the operator is silently widened. The affected package is captured by the CPE cpe:2.3:a:openclaw:line:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and the ENISA EUVD entry EUVD-2026-87485 lists all line versions from 0 up to but not including 2026.8.1. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated weakness with limited confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact, which aligns with the independent CVSS 3.1 assessment (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N).

DescriptionCVE.org

OpenClaw LINE versions before 2026.8.1 contain an access control vulnerability where group allowlist mode silently inherits DM allowFrom values when groupAllowFrom is not explicitly configured. Attackers with group participation can trigger the agent despite configured group allowlist restrictions when DM access is broader than intended group access.
