CVE-2026-27484
Plain English Summary
AI-powered analysis for quick understanding
An attacker can misuse a personal AI assistant to perform moderation actions like kicking or banning users from a Discord server by pretending to be someone else, as long as the bot has the right permissions and moderation features are enabled. This vulnerability affects versions up to 2026.2.17, and it has been fixed in the latest update.
Technical Description
OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. In versions 2026.2.17 and below, the Discord moderation action handling (timeout, kick, ban) uses sender identity from request parameters in tool-driven flows, instead of trusted runtime sender context. In setups where Discord moderation actions are enabled and the bot has the necessary guild permissions, a non-admin user can request moderation actions by spoofing sender identity fields. This issue has been fixed in version 2026.2.18.

Related Vulnerabilities
This vulnerability allows an attacker with local access to the system to potentially view sensitive information due to a flaw in how the software checks for file existence. To exploit this issue, the attacker must be able to run code on the affected version of OpenClaw, so it's important to upgrade to the latest version to fix the problem.
An attacker can remotely inject malicious code into the OpenClaw application due to a flaw in its Skill Env Handler. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker needs to manipulate specific configurations, making it crucial to upgrade to the latest version to protect against this risk.
An attacker can exploit a vulnerability in OpenClaw to inject and execute arbitrary commands with the same permissions as the OpenClaw service user, potentially taking control of the system. This requires the attacker to manipulate specific environment variables and trigger a service installation or restart.
This vulnerability allows an attacker to read sensitive files on the server, such as API keys and credentials, by manipulating file paths in the OpenClaw application. To exploit this, the attacker must have the ability to modify configuration settings within OpenClaw.
This vulnerability allows attackers to write or delete files on the server outside of the designated workspace, which can lead to unauthorized changes or data loss. It occurs when the apply_patch feature is enabled without proper security measures in place, allowing attackers to manipulate file paths to escape the intended directory.
