Description

A missing sender-authorization check in Telegram message_reaction handling allowed unauthorized users to trigger reaction-derived system events.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Introduced: 2026.2.17
  • Affected: >= 2026.2.17 and <= 2026.2.24
  • Latest published at patch time: 2026.2.24
  • Patched in release: 2026.2.25

Impact

When reaction notifications are enabled, unauthorized Telegram senders could inject reaction system events despite configured DM/group authorization controls (dmPolicy, allowFrom, groupPolicy, groupAllowFrom).

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    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.

  2. Fix

    Update openclaw to 2026.2.25 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-qj22-xqjr-v83v is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.
