GHSA-354r-7mfh-7rh2: OpenClaw: Discord DM reaction ingress missed dmPolicy/allowFrom checks in restricted setups

March 3, 2026

In OpenClaw <= 2026.2.24, Discord direct-message reaction notifications did not consistently apply the same DM authorization checks (dmPolicy / allowFrom) that are enforced for normal DM message ingress.

In restrictive DM setups, a non-allowlisted Discord user who can react to a bot-authored DM message could still enqueue a reaction-derived system event in the session.

This is a reaction-only ingress inconsistency. By itself it does not directly execute commands; practical impact depends on downstream automation/tool policy.
