CVE-2026-41367

OpenClaw 2026.2.14 < 2026.3.28 - Policy Enforcement Bypass in Discord Component Interactions

Published Apr 27, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 5.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

OpenClaw versions 2026.2.14 through 2026.3.24 fail to consistently apply guild and channel policy gates to Discord button and component interactions. Attackers can trigger privileged component actions from blocked contexts by bypassing channel policy enforcement.

Analysis

Technical impact

OpenClaw implementations from version 2026.2.14 through 2026.3.24 do not consistently enforce guild and channel policy gates on Discord button and component interactions. As a result, attackers can trigger privileged actions from contexts that should be blocked, effectively bypassing intended access controls. The weakness corresponds to CWE‑863, an imprecise comparison that permits unauthorized access.

Affected Systems

The affected product is OpenClaw, specifically the OpenClaw application in the 2026.2.14 to 2026.3.24 release range. No other vendors or product lines are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate potential impact; the EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to be remote via Discord component interactions, as the flaw involves bypassing channel policy enforcement through those interfaces. Once the policy gates are bypassed, an attacker can perform privileged component actions normally prohibited in the given context.

Affected Products

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.3.28 or newer, which contains the policy enforcement fix.
Verify that guild and channel policy gates are actively enforced in the OpenClaw configuration before processing any component interactions.
Inspect Discord bot and OpenClaw logs for unexpected privileged component actions and set up alerts for anomalous activity.
