CVE-2026-53851: OpenClaw: Slack reaction events could ignore reaction notification settings

June 18, 2026

Slack reaction events could ignore reaction notification settings. In affected versions, a Slack reaction event delivered to the configured app could enter the agent pipeline even when reaction notifications were disabled.

This advisory is scoped to the named feature and configuration. It does not change OpenClaw’s trusted-operator model: authenticated Gateway operators, installed plugins, and intentional local execution surfaces remain trusted unless a separate policy, approval, allowlist, sandbox, or auth boundary is crossed.
