Affected packages
• npm openclaw: < 2026.4.2 → fixed in 2026.4.2
Description
Summary
Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, Slack thread starter and thread-history context fetched through the API was not filtered by the effective sender allowlist. Messages from non-allowlisted senders could still enter the agent context when an allowlisted user replied in the same thread.
Impact
A Slack deployment that relied on sender allowlists could still feed non-allowlisted thread content into the model context through thread history. This was a sender-access-control bypass on Slack thread context, not a direct channel-auth bypass.
Affected Packages / Versions
• Package: `openclaw` (npm)
• Affected versions: `= 2026.4.2`
• Latest published npm version: `2026.4.1`
Fix Commit(s)
• `ac5bc4fb37becc64a2ec314864cca1565e921f2d` — filter Slack thread context by the effective allowlist
Release Process Note
The fix is present on `main` and is staged for OpenClaw `2026.4.2`. Publish this advisory after the `2026.4.2` npm release is live.
