This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-2gvc-4f3c-2855. This link is maintained to preserve external references.
Original Description
OpenClaw before 2026.4.15 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in Matrix room control-command authorization that trusts DM pairing-store entries. Attackers with DM-paired sender IDs can execute room control commands without being in configured allowlists by posting in bot rooms, potentially enabling privileged OpenClaw behavior.
