{"id":"CVE-2026-32035","aliases":["GHSA-wpg9-4g4v-f9rc"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-32035","summary":"OpenClaw < 2026.3.2 - Missing Owner Flag Validation in Discord Voice Transcript Handler","details":"### Summary\nIn `openclaw@2026.3.1`, the Discord voice transcript path called `agentCommand(...)` without `senderIsOwner`, and `agentCommand` defaults missing `senderIsOwner` to `true`.\n\nThis could allow a non-owner voice participant in the same channel to reach owner-only tool surfaces (`gateway`, `cron`) during voice transcript turns.\n\n### Security model note\nOpenClaw’s documented trust model is a **personal assistant** model (one trusted operator), not an adversarial multi-user boundary.\n\n- OpenClaw does **not** treat one shared gateway/chat surface as a hardened per-user auth boundary.\n- Mixed-trust deployments (mutually untrusted users sharing one gateway/channel) are outside recommended deployment boundaries.\n\nThis report is treated as a valid hardening/authorization bug because owner-only tool policy should still be applied consistently across chat-driven turns, including Discord voice transcript ingress.\n\n### Details\nRelevant path:\n1. Voice transcript run omitted `senderIsOwner` in Discord voice manager.\n2. Missing `senderIsOwner` defaulted to `true` in `agentCommand`.\n3. Owner-only tool policy is keyed on `senderIsOwner`.\n4. `gateway` and `cron` are owner-only tools.\n\n### Impact\n- Affects deployments where Discord voice is enabled and the bot is present in channels with non-owner participants.\n- No gateway-auth boundary bypass was required.\n- Practical risk depends strongly on whether the deployment is single-trust (recommended) or mixed-trust (not recommended).\n\n### Severity rationale\nDowngraded from high to **medium** to align with OpenClaw’s trust model and deployment assumptions:\n- Requires participation in the same voice environment as the trusted operator workflow.\n- Requires Discord voice path conditions (joined voice channel + transcript flow).\n- Does not introduce a new cross-gateway or unauthenticated boundary bypass.\n\n### Remediation\n- Always pass explicit `senderIsOwner` from Discord voice transcript ingress.\n- Fail closed (`false`) when owner status is unknown for non-local/chat ingress paths.\n- Keep regression tests that verify owner/non-owner voice speaker handling.\n\n\n### Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Affected versions: `<= 2026.3.1`\n- Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.2` (released)","published":"2026-03-19T22:07:10.096Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:18.140590888Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.3.2"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/32xxx/CVE-2026-32035.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-wpg9-4g4v-f9rc"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32035"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-missing-owner-flag-validation-in-discord-voice-transcript-handler"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:18.140590888Z"}}
