CVE-2026-44110: OpenClaw: Matrix room control-command authorization no longer trusts DM pairing-store entries
(updated )
Matrix room control-command authorization used the effective allowlist for room traffic, which included sender IDs learned from the Matrix DM pairing store. A sender who was allowed only for a Matrix DM could therefore authorize room control commands when they also posted in a bot room.
