Impact

CVSS 6.9 with CVSS:4.0 vector (AV:N, AC:L, PR:N, UI:N) indicates network-accessible, unauthenticated, low-complexity exploitation with partial confidentiality and integrity impact (VC:L, VI:L). EPSS data is not provided, but the straightforward nature of the bypass (omitting a single field in an inbound event) suggests moderate-to-high exploitation probability. No CISA KEV status is indicated, so active exploitation is not confirmed; however, the attack does not require sophisticated tooling-a malicious Feishu user or compromised bot integration can trivially craft reaction events without chat_type. The impact is bounded to unauthorized access within group chats where reaction-based controls are relied upon; it does not yield remote code execution or full system compromise. Organizations using OpenClaw with strict group chat access policies are at genuine risk, but the exposure is limited to the subset of deployments enforcing those controls. This is a real priority for affected deployments, not merely a theoretical high-CVSS issue.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A malicious Feishu user, or an attacker with access to a compromised Feishu workspace, crafts a reaction event (e.g., emoji reaction to a message) and deliberately omits the chat_type field in the event payload. OpenClaw misinterprets this as a p2p event and bypasses group-level access controls (groupAllowFrom, requireMention). The attacker can then trigger bot actions or access information that should be restricted to authorized group members, without meeting the group's explicit access policy requirements. No public proof-of-concept code is known to exist, but the attack is achievable through direct Feishu API manipulation or by controlling a bot integration that sends crafted events.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 29, 2026

OpenClaw before version 2026.3.12 permits authorization bypass in Feishu reaction event handling when chat_type parameters are omitted, causing group chat events to be misclassified as peer-to-peer conversations and allowing attackers to circumvent groupAllowFrom and requireMention security controls. Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this with low complexity to achieve partial confidentiality and integrity impacts. No public exploit code has been identified, but the vulnerability is straightforward to trigger once the root cause is understood.

RemediationAI

Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.3.12 or later immediately. This patched version restores proper validation of the chat_type parameter in Feishu reaction events, ensuring group chat events are correctly classified and subject to groupAllowFrom and requireMention protections. No workarounds for earlier versions are documented; patch deployment is the only remediation path. Consult the GitHub Security Advisory at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-m69h-jm2f-2pv8 and VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-authorization-bypass-via-misclassified-reaction-events-in-feishu for patch deployment guidance and confirmation of successful update.

Technical ContextAI · show details

OpenClaw is a Feishu (DingTalk-alternative messaging platform) bot framework that enforces access controls via groupAllowFrom and requireMention directives on group chat reaction events. The vulnerability stems from improper input validation (CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization) in the event classification logic. When Feishu reaction events arrive without an explicit chat_type field, OpenClaw's code defaults to or misinterprets the event as a peer-to-peer (p2p) conversation rather than a group chat. This misclassification causes the authorization decision logic to skip group-specific restrictions, treating a group-sourced event with p2p rules. The root cause is insufficient validation of the chat_type parameter before the authorization decision is rendered.

DescriptionCVE.org

OpenClaw before 2026.3.12 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability where Feishu reaction events with omitted chat_type are misclassified as p2p conversations instead of group chats. Attackers can exploit this misclassification to bypass groupAllowFrom and requireMention protections in group chat reaction-derived events.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using OpenClaw before 2026.3.12 should be aware of notable risk from CVE-2026-32924, a incorrect authorization vulnerability rated CVSS 6.9. Attackers could gain access beyond their authorized level. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.

Business Impact: Moderate
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: restrict network access and enable monitoring.
