Affected packages
• npm openclaw: < 2026.2.22 → fixed in 2026.2.22
Description
OpenClaw supports Discord allowlists using either user IDs or names/tags. Name/tag matching depends on slug normalization, so different user tags can collide to the same slug and unintentionally satisfy a name-based allowlist entry.
Affected Packages / Versions
• Package: `openclaw` (npm)
• Affected versions: `= 2026.2.22
What Changed
• `openclaw security audit` now warns on Discord name/tag allowlist entries (DM allowlists, guild/channel `users`, and pairing-store entries).
• Runtime authorization now prefers resolved user IDs when a configured name/tag can be resolved, without rewriting config files on disk.
• Name-based entries remain supported for compatibility.
Recommendations
• Prefer stable Discord user IDs for security-sensitive allowlists.
• Run `openclaw security audit` and address warnings where practical.
