Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionCVE.org
OpenClaw before 2026.4.20 contains a message classification vulnerability in Feishu card-action callbacks that misclassifies direct messages as group conversations. Attackers can bypass dmPolicy enforcement by triggering card-action flows in direct message conversations that should have been blocked by restrictive policies.
AnalysisAI
OpenClaw before version 2026.4.20 misclassifies direct messages as group conversations in Feishu card-action callbacks, allowing authenticated attackers to bypass dmPolicy restrictions and trigger card-action flows that should have been blocked. The vulnerability affects direct message handling in the Feishu integration and requires authenticated access (PR:L per CVSS vector) but achieves both confidentiality and integrity impact with moderate CVSS score of 5.4.
Technical ContextAI
OpenClaw is a JavaScript/TypeScript bot framework (npm package) that integrates with Feishu (ByteDance's enterprise messaging platform). The vulnerability exists in the Feishu card-action handler (extensions/feishu/src/bot.card-action.ts), which processes interactive card callbacks from Feishu. When a user clicks a card action in a direct message (Feishu chat_type 'p2p'), the handler previously failed to correctly resolve the chat_type from Feishu API responses, instead falling through to group message handling logic. This caused dmPolicy (direct message policy restrictions) to be skipped entirely. The root cause is improper message classification (CWE-184: Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs), where the handler did not properly distinguish between p2p and group chat contexts. The fix adds explicit API lookup of Feishu chat metadata using the Feishu client's im.chat.get() endpoint, preferring chat_mode over chat_type field, and implements fallback to p2p classification on API errors to ensure dmPolicy is always enforced.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.4.20 or later via npm (npm install openclaw@2026.4.20). The fix resolves Feishu card-action chat type classification by querying the Feishu API (im.chat.get) when stored context is missing, ensuring p2p chats are correctly identified before dmPolicy enforcement. The patch is available at commit 90979d7c3ef7ec30b9f8aa6963a5e38d2f17d166 on GitHub. No workarounds are available prior to patching; however, organizations can mitigate by restricting Feishu bot permissions to disable card-action handling entirely if card interactions are not required, or by implementing upstream network-level restrictions on Feishu API callbacks to your OpenClaw instance. Note that disabling card actions may reduce bot functionality. See advisory at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-72q8-jcmc-97wx for full details.
