{"id":"CVE-2026-32975","aliases":["GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-32975","summary":"OpenClaw < 2026.3.12 - Weak Authorization via Mutable Group Names in Zalouser Allowlist","details":"### Summary\n\nOpenClaw's Zalouser allowlist mode accepted mutable group names and normalized slugs as authorization matches instead of requiring stable group IDs. In deployments that used name-based `channels.zalouser.groups` entries together with permissive sender allowlists, a different group could be accepted by reusing the same display name as an allowlisted group.\n\n### Impact\n\nThis weakened channel authorization for Zalouser group routing and could allow messages from an unintended group to reach the agent when operators relied on group names instead of stable IDs.\n\n### Affected versions\n\n`openclaw` `<= 2026.3.11`\n\n### Patch\n\nFixed in `openclaw` `2026.3.12`. Allowlist authorization now matches stable group identifiers, and users should update to `2026.3.12` or later.","published":"2026-03-29T12:44:26.875Z","modified":"2026-10-21T02:56:46.788848605Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.3.12"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/32xxx/CVE-2026-32975.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32975"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-weak-authorization-via-mutable-group-names-in-zalouser-allowlist"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/releases/tag/v2026.3.12"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-10-21T02:56:46.788848605Z"}}
