DescriptionCVE.org
OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an access control bypass vulnerability in the Discord voice manager that allows attackers to bypass channel-level member access allowlist restrictions. Attackers can send Discord voice ingress requests before channel allowlist authorization is performed, gaining unauthorized access to restricted voice channels.
AnalysisAI
OpenClaw before version 2026.3.31 contains an access control bypass in its Discord voice manager that allows authenticated attackers to send voice ingress requests before channel allowlist authorization checks are enforced, gaining unauthorized access to restricted voice channels. The vulnerability exploits a race condition or authorization sequencing flaw in the voice channel access control mechanism, affecting deployments with member-level access restrictions.
Technical ContextAI
OpenClaw's Discord voice manager implements channel-level member access allowlists to restrict voice channel participation. The vulnerability stems from CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization), where the application fails to enforce access control checks before processing Discord voice ingress requests. Specifically, attackers can deliver voice packets to restricted channels before the allowlist validation logic executes, bypassing the intended authorization gate. This is a classic authorization-before-use flaw common in asynchronous or event-driven systems where input handling precedes permission verification.
RemediationAI
Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.3.31 or later to obtain the vendor-released patch. The upstream fix is available via GitHub commit dba96e7507e0900f120e5e28e57755d69bf78759, which addresses the authorization sequencing flaw in the Discord voice manager. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, implement network-level access controls to restrict Discord voice ingress requests to trusted sources, or temporarily disable voice channel functionality by setting the voice manager to a restricted mode that requires explicit per-session authorization. Review the GitHub Security Advisory at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-cqgw-44wg-44rf for detailed guidance and confirmation of fixed versions. Test the patched version in a staging environment before production deployment to validate compatibility with existing channel allowlist policies.
