CVE-2026-32005: OpenClaw: Slack interactive callbacks could skip configured sender checks in some shared-workspace flows
Impact In shared Slack workspace deployments that rely on sender restrictions (allowFrom, DM policy, or channel user allowlists), some interactive callbacks (blockaction, viewsubmission, viewclosed) could be accepted before full sender authorization checks. In that scenario, an unauthorized workspace member could enqueue system-event text into an active session.

Impact
In shared Slack workspace deployments that rely on sender restrictions (allowFrom, DM policy, or channel user allowlists), some interactive callbacks (block_action, view_submission, view_closed) could be accepted before full sender authorization checks.
In that scenario, an unauthorized workspace member could enqueue system-event text into an active session. This issue did not provide unauthenticated access, cross-gateway isolation bypass, or host-level privilege escalation by itself.
