CVE-2026-28392: OpenClaw Slack: dmPolicy=open allowed any DM sender to run privileged slash commands
(updated )
When Slack DMs are configured with dmPolicy=open, the Slack slash-command handler incorrectly treated any DM sender as command-authorized. This allowed any Slack user who could DM the bot to execute privileged slash commands via DM, bypassing intended allowlist/access-group restrictions.
