Affected packages
• npm openclaw: < 2026.2.18 → fixed in 2026.2.18
Description
Overview
Discord moderation action handling (`timeout`, `kick`, `ban`) used sender identity from request parameters in tool-driven flows, instead of trusted runtime sender context.
Impact
In setups where Discord moderation actions are enabled and the bot has the necessary guild permissions, a non-admin user could request moderation actions by spoofing sender identity fields.
Affected Packages / Versions
• Package: `openclaw` (npm)
• Latest published affected version (as of 2026-02-19): `2026.2.17`
• Affected range: `<=2026.2.17`
• Fixed in planned next release: `2026.2.18`
Fix
• Moderation authorization now uses trusted sender context (`requesterSenderId`) instead of untrusted action params.
• Added permission checks for required guild capabilities per action.
