OpenClaw Discord moderation authorization used untrusted sender identity in tool-driven flows
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Overview
Discord moderation action handling (`timeout`, `kick`, `ban`) used sender identity from request parameters in tool-driven flows, instead of trusted runtime sender context.
## Impact
In setups where Discord moderation actions are enabled and the bot has the necessary guild permissions, a non-admin user could request moderation actions by spoofing sender identity fields.
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw` (npm)
- Latest published affected version (as of 2026-02-19): `2026.2.17`
- Affected range: `<=2026.2.17`
- Fixed in planned next release: `2026.2.18`
## Fix
- Moderation authorization now uses trusted sender context (`requesterSenderId`) instead of untrusted action params.
- Added permission checks for required guild capabilities per action.
## Fix Commit(s)
