Affected packages
• npm openclaw: < 2026.3.8 → fixed in 2026.3.8
Description
OpenClaw's Microsoft Teams plugin widened group sender authorization when a team/channel route allowlist was configured but `groupAllowFrom` was empty. Before the fix, a matching route allowlist entry could cause the message handler to synthesize wildcard sender authorization for that route, allowing any sender in the matched team/channel to bypass the intended `groupPolicy: "allowlist"` sender check.
This does not affect default unauthenticated access, but it does weaken a documented Teams group authorization boundary and can allow unauthorized group senders to trigger replies in allowlisted Teams routes.
Affected Packages / Versions
• Package: `openclaw` (npm)
• Latest published vulnerable version: `2026.3.7`
• Affected range: `<= 2026.3.7`
• Fixed in released version: `2026.3.8`
Fix Commit(s)
• `88aee9161e0e6d32e810a25711e32a808a1777b2`
Release Verification
• Verified fixed in GitHub release `v2026.3.8` published on March 9, 2026.
• Verified `npm view openclaw version` resolves to `2026.3.8`.
• Verified the release contains the regression test covering the Teams route-allowlist sender-bypass case and that the test passes against the `v2026.3.8` tree.
Thanks @zpbrent for reporting.
