How to Fix CVE-2026-32021

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.

openclaw fixed: 2026.2.22 
npm install openclaw@2026.2.22
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

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-32021, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

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 2026.2.22), 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.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key, where the system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data. In Openclaw, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Summary Feishu allowlist authorization could be bypassed by display-name collision. ### Details `channels.feishu.allowFrom` is documented as an ID-based allowlist (open_id list), but Feishu policy matching accepted mutable sender display names in the same namespace. An attacker could set a display name equal to an allowlisted ID string and pass authorization checks. The fix enforces ID-only matching for Feishu allowlist checks, normalizes Feishu ID prefixes during comparison, and ignores mutable display names for authorization. ### Impact Deployments using Feishu allowlist-based authorization could incorrectly authorize non-allowlisted senders when a colliding display name was used. ### Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published version at triage time: `2026.2.21-2` - Affected range: `<= 2026.2.21-2` - Planned patched version: `>= 2026.2.22` ### Fix Commit(s) - `4ed87a667263ed2d422b9d5d5a5d326e099f92c7` ### Release Process Note `patched_versions` is pre-set to the planned next release (`>= 2026.2.22`) so the advisory is ready to publish once that npm release is available. OpenClaw thanks @jiseoung for reporting.
