OpenClaw Missing Authorization Vulnerability in Discord Moderation Actions

A missing authorization vulnerability has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.6.9, specifically within Discord moderation actions. In these affected versions, lower-trust callers or configured input paths could execute moderation tasks that should have necessitated stronger authorization or policy checks. The actual impact of this vulnerability varies based on the operator's configuration and whether lower-trust input can access the vulnerable path.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow unauthorized users to perform moderation actions on Discord, bypassing necessary authorization checks. This could lead to inappropriate or unauthorized changes in moderation status or actions.

Remediation

Users are advised to upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.6.9 or later. Before upgrading, it is recommended to restrict the affected feature to trusted operators or disable it if not needed. As a general practice, maintain narrow channel and tool allowlists, avoid sharing one Gateway between mutually untrusted users, and disable the affected feature when it is not required.
