BREW-OPENCLAW-CLI-CVE-20… (GHSA-98HH-7GHG-X6RQ)

Vulnerability from osv_homebrew – Published: 2026-08-13 17:21 – Updated: 2026-09-25 08:57 – Source website

Summary

OpenClaw: Discord text `/approve` bypasses `channels.discord.execApprovals.approvers` and allows non-approvers to resolve pending exec approvals

Details

Summary

Discord text approval commands resolved pending exec approvals without honoring the configured approver allowlist.

Impact

A Discord user who was allowed to send commands but was not in the approver list could still approve pending host execution.

Affected Component

extensions/discord/src/exec-approvals.ts, src/auto-reply/reply/commands-approve.ts

Fixed Versions

Affected: <= 2026.3.24
Patched: >= 2026.3.28
Latest stable 2026.3.28 contains the fix.

Fix

Fixed by commit 355abe5eba (Discord: enforce approver checks for text approvals).

Severity

8.8 (High)

GHSA-98HH-7GHG-X6RQ

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-31 23:52 – Updated: 2026-04-24 21:04

Summary

OpenClaw: Discord text `/approve` bypasses `channels.discord.execApprovals.approvers` and allows non-approvers to resolve pending exec approvals

Details

Summary

Discord text approval commands resolved pending exec approvals without honoring the configured approver allowlist.

Impact

A Discord user who was allowed to send commands but was not in the approver list could still approve pending host execution.

Affected Component

extensions/discord/src/exec-approvals.ts, src/auto-reply/reply/commands-approve.ts

Fixed Versions

Affected: <= 2026.3.24
Patched: >= 2026.3.28
Latest stable 2026.3.28 contains the fix.

Fix

Fixed by commit 355abe5eba (Discord: enforce approver checks for text approvals).

Severity

8.8 (High)


                  
                    CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
