OpenClaw's Slack reaction/pin sender-policy consistency issue in non-message ingress
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
OpenClaw Slack monitor handled `reaction_*` and `pin_*` non-message events before applying sender-policy checks consistently.
In affected versions, these events could be added to system-event context even when sender policy would not normally allow them.
### Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: npm `openclaw`
- Latest published affected version confirmed: `2026.2.24` (npm latest as of February 26, 2026)
- Affected range: `<= 2026.2.24`
- Patched version : `2026.2.25`
### Technical Details
- `reaction_*` and `pin_*` handlers now route through shared sender authorization (`authorizeSlackSystemEventSender`).
- Enforced checks now include:
- DM `dmPolicy` / `allowFrom`
- channel `users` allowlist enforcement for non-DM channels
- channel-level allow checks before system-event enqueue
- Regression coverage added for DM allow/deny and channel-user allowlist deny paths.
### Fix Commit(s)
- `aedf62ac7e669a89c7b299201bf6537dc6b12e0e`
- `75dfb71e4e8b7c2feba5a8ca662f92ea840e0147`
### Impact
Low-severity policy-consistency issue in Slack non-message event ingress.
This may introduce unexpected reaction/pin context signals from senders outside configured policy.
### Release Process Note
`patched_versions` is pre-set to planned release `2026.2.25`. Advisory published with npm release `2026.2.25`.
OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
