| Impact | The CVSS v3.1 score of 5.3 reflects a medium-severity vulnerability with network attack vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), and no privilege requirements (PR:N), indicating that any unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this without special conditions. The impact is integrity-focused (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability loss, meaning attackers can modify or inject unauthorized feedback data rather than access or disrupt systems. While the CVSS score is moderate, the practical risk depends on the sensitivity of feedback data within organizational Teams deployments and the value of maintaining audit integrity for session feedback. The authentication bypass nature (CWE-288) elevates concern beyond a simple validation flaw, as it directly undermines trust in the feedback mechanism. The fact that a vendor patch is available and this was disclosed responsibly (GitHub security advisory) suggests coordinated disclosure rather than widespread active exploitation. In SSVC terms, this is exploitable with network access and low complexity, but the integrity-only impact and lack of evidence of widespread abuse suggest this is a medium priority requiring timely patching but not an immediate critical emergency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker can craft a network request to the OpenClaw feedback invoke endpoint without providing valid sender credentials, bypassing the allowlist check that should restrict feedback operations to authorized senders. The attacker then triggers unauthorized session feedback recording or reflection, potentially capturing or modifying feedback data intended for restricted participants. This could be chained with social engineering or internal reconnaissance to target specific Teams channels or sessions within an organization. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 10, 2026
OpenClaw before version 2026.3.25 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass sender allowlist checks in Microsoft Teams feedback invoke endpoints, enabling unauthorized recording of session feedback. The vulnerability exploits improper authorization logic in feedback processing, granting attackers the ability to trigger feedback recording or reflection operations that should be restricted to authorized senders. No public exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Vendors should upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.3.25 or later, which includes fixes to the feedback invoke endpoint authorization logic. The upstream fix is documented in commit c5415a474bb085404c20f8b312e436997977b1ea on the OpenClaw GitHub repository. Organizations should apply this patch immediately to prevent unauthorized feedback recording in their Teams integrations. For detailed guidance, refer to the official GitHub security advisory at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-rf6h-5gpw-qrgq and the vendor's advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-authorization-bypass-in-microsoft-teams-feedback-invoke. If immediate patching is not possible, review feedback invoke endpoint access logs for suspicious patterns and consider temporarily disabling Teams feedback functionality until the patch is deployed.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability exists in OpenClaw's Microsoft Teams integration, specifically in the feedback invoke endpoint handlers that process feedback-related operations. The root cause is classified as CWE-288 (Authentication Using a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm), indicating that the allowlist mechanism protecting sender authorization fails to properly validate request origins or credentials. The feedback invoke endpoints are network-accessible components within the OpenClaw application that interact with Microsoft Teams, and attackers can craft requests that circumvent the intended sender validation logic, allowing arbitrary parties to trigger sensitive feedback operations that should only be available to whitelisted participants. The vulnerability affects the OpenClaw application across versions prior to 2026.3.25, as indicated by the CPE string cpe:2.3:a:openclaw:openclaw:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*.
