npm install openclaw@2026.3.31
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls openclaw

How to Check if You Are Affected

npm ls openclaw

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of OpenClaw in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2026.3.31), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls openclaw command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Source Advisory Statement

## Summary Discord voice manager bypasses channel-level member access allowlist ## Current Maintainer Triage - Status: open - Normalized severity: medium - Assessment: v2026.3.28 still accepts Discord voice ingress before channel allowlist authorization, and main-only gating means this remains a real shipped access-control bug. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published npm version: `2026.3.31` - Vulnerable version range: `<=2026.3.28` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.31` - First stable tag containing the fix: `v2026.3.31` ## Fix Commit(s) - `dba96e7507e0900f120e5e28e57755d69bf78759` — 2026-03-31T21:29:13+09:00 ## Release Process Note - The fix is already present in released version `2026.3.31`. - This draft looks ready for final maintainer disposition or publication, not additional code-fix work.
