Executive Summary

OpenClaw MS Teams before version 2026.5.12 has an authorization bypass flaw in the allowFrom feature. This feature incorrectly binds to mutable display names, allowing attackers with lower-trust access to perform actions that require stronger authorization. The vulnerability stems from improper handling of display names, enabling privilege escalation.

Detection Guidance

Check OpenClaw MS Teams version with npm list @openclaw/ms-teams. If version is below 2026.5.12, the system is vulnerable. Inspect configuration for allowFrom feature usage and validate display name binding logic in logs.

Impact Analysis

If you use OpenClaw MS Teams versions before 2026.5.12, attackers with limited access could exploit this to perform unauthorized actions that require higher privileges. This could lead to data breaches, unauthorized modifications, or other malicious activities depending on the actions permitted by the affected feature.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access or data exposure, which may violate compliance requirements under GDPR, HIPAA, or other regulations. Organizations using affected versions risk non-compliance due to potential breaches of confidentiality and integrity controls.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade OpenClaw MS Teams to version 2026.5.12 or later. Disable the allowFrom feature if not required. Restrict feature access to trusted operators only. Monitor logs for unauthorized access attempts.
