Summary

OpenClaw Slack: dmPolicy=open allowed any DM sender to run privileged slash commands

Details

Summary

When Slack DMs are configured with dmPolicy=open, the Slack slash-command handler incorrectly treated any DM sender as command-authorized. This allowed any Slack user who could DM the bot to execute privileged slash commands via DM, bypassing intended allowlist/access-group restrictions.

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: openclaw (npm)
Affected versions: <= 2026.2.13
Affected configuration: Slack DMs enabled with channels.slack.dm.policy: open (aka dmPolicy=open)

Impact

Any Slack user in the workspace who can DM the bot could invoke privileged slash commands via DM.

Fix

The slash-command path now computes CommandAuthorized for DMs using the same allowlist/access-group gating logic as other inbound paths.

Fix commit(s): - f19eabee54c49e9a2e264b4965edf28a2f92e657

Release Process Note

patched_versions is set to the planned next release (2026.2.14). Once that npm release is published, this advisory should be published.

Thanks @christos-eth for reporting.
