DescriptionCVE.org

OpenClaw versions 2026.2.14 through 2026.3.24 fail to consistently apply guild and channel policy gates to Discord button and component interactions. Attackers can trigger privileged component actions from blocked contexts by bypassing channel policy enforcement.

AnalysisAI

OpenClaw versions 2026.2.14 through 2026.3.24 fail to enforce guild and channel policy gates on Discord button and component interactions, allowing authenticated users to trigger privileged component actions from contexts where those actions should be blocked. The vulnerability bypasses channel policy enforcement via policy gate inconsistency, enabling privilege escalation within Discord servers where OpenClaw is deployed.

Technical ContextAI

OpenClaw is a Discord bot framework or application that implements guild and channel policy enforcement mechanisms to control which users can execute specific bot actions in specific Discord contexts. Discord component interactions (buttons, select menus, modals) are handled separately from traditional command message routing in the Discord API. The vulnerability exists in the component interaction handler, which fails to consistently apply the same policy gate checks that are enforced for other command types. CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) indicates the root cause is a logic flaw where authorization rules are either incompletely applied, bypassed under certain conditions, or not re-checked at the point of action execution. The affected versions suggest this is a regression or incomplete implementation introduced between version 2026.2.14 and remaining unpatched through 2026.3.24.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.3.25 or later to receive the patched policy gate enforcement. The fix ensures that guild and channel policy checks are consistently applied to Discord component interactions (buttons, select menus, modals) at interaction processing time. Immediate workaround pending upgrade: Disable or restrict access to Discord components within affected OpenClaw bots by removing button/component handlers from sensitive bot commands, reverting to text-command-only enforcement in channels where policy gate bypass poses operational risk. This workaround trades bot functionality for security and should be temporary. Review server role assignments and audit logs in Discord to identify any unauthorized privileged actions executed via components during the exposure window. Detailed patch and deployment instructions are available in the GitHub security advisory (https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-jp4j-q5fc-58gv).
