Affected packages
• npm openclaw: < 2026.2.25 → fixed in 2026.2.25
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`).
Fix Commit(s)
• `e56b0cf1a04f992ac6ebc775899f48ea31687640`
Release Process Note
`patched_versions` is pre-set to the release (`2026.2.25`) so once npm release `2026.2.25` is published, this advisory can be published without further edits.
OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
