Summary
OpenClaw's Telegram message_reaction authorization bypass allows unauthorized system-event injection
Details

A missing sender-authorization check in Telegram message_reaction handling allowed unauthorized users to trigger reaction-derived system events.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Introduced: 2026.2.17
  • Affected: >= 2026.2.17 and <= 2026.2.24
  • Latest published at patch time: 2026.2.24
  • Patched in release: 2026.2.25

Impact

When reaction notifications are enabled, unauthorized Telegram senders could inject reaction system events despite configured DM/group authorization controls (dmPolicy, allowFrom, groupPolicy, groupAllowFrom).

Fix Commit(s)

  • e56b0cf1a04f992ac6ebc775899f48ea31687640

Release Process Note

OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
