Executive Summary

CVE-2026-41381 is an access control bypass vulnerability in OpenClaw versions before 2026.3.31, specifically in the Discord voice manager component.

The flaw allows attackers to bypass channel-level member access allowlist restrictions by sending Discord voice ingress requests before the authorization checks are performed.

This means attackers can gain unauthorized access to restricted voice channels without proper permissions.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows attackers to join restricted voice channels without authorization, potentially exposing sensitive communications or information shared within those channels.

Because the attacker can bypass access controls, it undermines the intended security and privacy controls of the Discord voice channels managed by OpenClaw.

The impact on confidentiality and integrity is considered low according to the CVSS v4 score, but unauthorized access can still lead to privacy violations or information leakage.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability involves unauthorized Discord voice ingress requests bypassing channel-level allowlist authorization in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.31.

To detect this vulnerability on your network or system, you should monitor Discord voice ingress requests and verify whether unauthorized users are able to join restricted voice channels before authorization checks are performed.

Since the issue is related to access control bypass at the application level, network-level detection might involve capturing and analyzing Discord voice ingress traffic for anomalies or unauthorized access attempts.

Specific commands are not provided in the available resources. However, general approaches could include:

• Using network packet capture tools like tcpdump or Wireshark to monitor Discord voice traffic and identify ingress requests.
• Reviewing OpenClaw application logs for voice channel join events and checking if unauthorized users are present.
• Comparing user IDs in voice channels against the configured allowlist to detect unauthorized access.

For precise detection commands or scripts, you may need to refer to OpenClaw's logging or monitoring capabilities or develop custom detection based on the application's behavior.
