  "details": "## Impact\n\nIn Telegram DM mode, inbound media was downloaded and written to disk before sender authorization checks completed. An unauthorized sender could trigger inbound media download/write activity (including media groups) even when DM access should be denied.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Latest published version currently affected: `2026.2.23`\n- Vulnerable range: `\u003c= 2026.2.23`\n- Patched in planned next release: `2026.2.24`\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n\n- `9514201fb9b51de5d0b23151110d0ff5d9c8bd67`\n\n## Technical Details\n\nThe Telegram handler flow now enforces DM authorization before media download/write paths execute, including media-group handling. Inbound channel activity tracking was also moved to run after DM authorization in the Telegram message context path.\n\n## Release Process Note\n\n`patched_versions` is pre-set to the planned next release (`2026.2.24`). After npm publish, the advisory can be published without further version-field edits.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @v8hid for reporting.\n\n\n### Publication Update (2026-02-25)\n`openclaw@2026.2.24` is published on npm and contains the fix commit(s) listed above. This advisory now marks `\u003e= 2026.2.24` as patched.",
