{"id":"CVE-2026-32039","aliases":["GHSA-wpph-cjgr-7c39"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-32039","summary":"OpenClaw < 2026.2.22 - Sender Authorization Bypass via Identity Collision in toolsBySender","details":"### Summary\n`channels.*.groups.*.toolsBySender` could match a privileged sender policy using a colliding mutable identity value (for example `senderName` or `senderUsername`) when deployments used untyped keys.\n\nThe fix introduces explicit typed sender keys (`id:`, `e164:`, `username:`, `name:`), keeps legacy untyped keys on a deprecated ID-only path, and adds regression coverage to prevent cross-identifier collisions.\n\n### Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: npm `openclaw`\n- Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.21-2`\n- Latest published npm version at triage time (February 22, 2026): `2026.2.21-2`\n- Patched version (planned next release): `2026.2.22`\n\n### Impact\nThis is a sender-authorization bypass in group tool policy matching for deployments that use `toolsBySender` with untyped keys. Under those conditions, an attacker could inherit stronger tool permissions intended for another sender if they can force an identifier collision.\n\n### Fix Commit(s)\n- `5547a2275cb69413af3b62c795b93214fe913b57`\n\n### Release Process Note\n`patched_versions` is pre-set to the planned next release (`2026.2.22`). Once that npm release is published, this advisory should only need publishing.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @jiseoung for reporting.","published":"2026-03-19T22:07:13.160Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:45.994676489Z","cvss":null,"epss":{"score":0.0019,"percentile":0.08603,"asOf":"2026-08-24"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.2.22"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/5547a2275cb69413af3b62c795b93214fe913b57","label":"openclaw/openclaw@5547a22"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/32xxx/CVE-2026-32039.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-wpph-cjgr-7c39"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32039"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-sender-authorization-bypass-via-identity-collision-in-toolsbysender"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/5547a2275cb69413af3b62c795b93214fe913b57"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:45.994676489Z"}}
