OpenClaw Slack versions prior to 2026.8.1 do not enforce sender allowlists in multi-person direct messages, allowing unauthorized participan
Overview
OpenClaw Slack versions prior to 2026.8.1 do not enforce sender allowlists in multi-person direct messages, allowing unauthorized participants to trigger Slack agents. This flaw lets attackers access tools and data that should be protected by configured policies. The vulnerability is critical and can lead to significant data exposure.
Description
OpenClaw Slack versions before 2026.8.1 fail to properly enforce sender allowlists in multi-person direct messages. Disallowed participants can trigger Slack agents and access tools and data granted to those agents by bypassing configured sender policies.
Impact
Confidentiality is compromised as disallowed users can access sensitive data and tools. Integrity is at risk because attackers can manipulate agent actions. Availability is indirectly affected if agents are misused to overload resources. Administrators and end‑users of OpenClaw Slack are directly impacted.
Remediation
Apply the 2026.8.1 patch or later immediately. Verify that sender allowlists are correctly configured for all multi‑person DMs. Disable or restrict multi‑person DMs for untrusted participants until the patch is applied. Monitor Slack agent activity for anomalous triggers and review policy enforcement logs.
Risk context
The CVSS v3 score of 8.8 and critical severity indicate a high risk, but the EPSS of 0.00261 suggests a low probability of exploitation in the near term. Nonetheless, defenders should treat this as a priority update.
