How to Fix CVE-2026-32005
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected OpenClaw dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install openclaw@2026.2.25Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls openclawHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-32005, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls openclawAnalyze 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 2026.2.25), 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.

"details" : "## Impact\n\nIn shared Slack workspace deployments that rely on sender restrictions (`allowFrom`, DM policy, or channel user allowlists), some interactive callbacks (`block_action`, `view_submission`, `view_closed`) could be accepted before full sender authorization checks.\n\nIn that scenario, an unauthorized workspace member could enqueue system-event text into an active session. This issue did not provide unauthenticated access, cross-gateway isolation bypass, or host-level privilege escalation by itself.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Vulnerable versions: `<= 2026.2.24`\n- Patched version: `2026.2.25` (planned next npm release)\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n\n- `ce8c67c314b93f570f53c2a9abc124e1e3a54715`\n\n## Release Process Note\n\n`patched_versions` is pre-set to the release (`2026.2.25`). Advisory published with npm release `2026.2.25`.\n\n## Trust Model Scope Note\n\nOpenClaw does not support adversarial multi-user isolation on a single shared gateway instance. The supported model is one trust boundary per gateway (separate gateways/hosts for mutually untrusted users). See: https://docs.openclaw.ai/gateway/security\n\nOpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.",
