Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in OpenClaw versions before 2026.5.19 and involves an authorization bypass in the message read actions.

Specifically, the vulnerability allows lower-trust callers to bypass channel allowlist checks, meaning they can request and access messages from channels that are not intended for them.

This happens due to insufficient validation in the affected feature, which skips proper authorization controls.

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability is that unauthorized users with lower trust levels can access sensitive messages from channels they should not have permission to view.

This exposure of sensitive channel messages can lead to information leakage and compromise confidentiality within the affected system.
