OpenClaw < 2026.2.22 - Authorization Bypass via Display Name Collision in Feishu allowFrom
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, and reverse-dependency count shows how many other packages break if it stays unpatched.
openclawnpmDescription
Summary
Feishu allowlist authorization could be bypassed by display-name collision.
Details
channels.feishu.allowFrom is documented as an ID-based allowlist (open_id list), but Feishu policy matching accepted mutable sender display names in the same namespace. An attacker could set a display name equal to an allowlisted ID string and pass authorization checks.
The fix enforces ID-only matching for Feishu allowlist checks, normalizes Feishu ID prefixes during comparison, and ignores mutable display names for authorization.
Impact
Deployments using Feishu allowlist-based authorization could incorrectly authorize non-allowlisted senders when a colliding display name was used.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update openclaw to 2026.2.22 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-32021 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-32021 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-32021. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2026-32021 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds CVE-2026-32021 across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
