  "summary" : "OpenClaw Telegram allowlist authorization accepted mutable usernames",
  "details" : "## Summary\nTelegram allowlist authorization could match on `@username` (mutable/recyclable) instead of immutable numeric sender IDs.\n\n## Impact\nOperators who treat Telegram allowlists as strict identity controls could unintentionally grant access if a username changes hands (identity rebinding/spoof risk). This can allow an unauthorized sender to interact with the bot in allowlist mode.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n- npm `openclaw`: <= 2026.2.13\n- npm `clawdbot`: <= 2026.1.24-3\n\n## Fix\nTelegram allowlist authorization now requires numeric Telegram sender IDs only. `@username` allowlist principals are rejected.\n\nA security audit warning was added to flag legacy configs that still contain non-numeric Telegram allowlist entries.\n\n`openclaw doctor --fix` now attempts to resolve `@username` allowFrom entries to numeric IDs (best-effort; requires a Telegram bot token).\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n- e3b432e481a96b8fd41b91273818e514074e05c3\n- 9e147f00b48e63e7be6964e0e2a97f2980854128\n\nThanks @vincentkoc for reporting.",
