OpenClaw's Synology Chat dmPolicy=allowlist failed open on empty allowedUserIds, allowing unauthorized agent dispatch
Summary
In openclaw versions 2026.2.22 and 2026.2.23, the optional synology-chat channel plugin had an authorization fail-open condition: when dmPolicy was allowlist and allowedUserIds was empty/unset, unauthorized senders were still allowed through to agent dispatch.
This is assessed as medium severity because it requires channel/plugin setup and Synology sender access, but can still trigger downstream agent/tool actions.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected versions:
>= 2026.2.22, <= 2026.2.23 - Latest published affected version at patch time:
2026.2.23 - Planned patched version:
2026.2.24
Details
Root cause was a policy mismatch across plugin code paths:
- Default resolved DM policy was
allowlist. - Empty
allowedUserIdswas treated as allow-all. - Webhook auth in allowlist mode depended on that helper.
Result: allowlist with empty list behaved like open access for inbound Synology senders.

Связанные уязвимости
OpenClaw versions 2026.2.22 and 2026.2.23 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the synology-chat channel plugin where dmPolicy set to allowlist with empty allowedUserIds fails open. Attackers with Synology sender access can bypass authorization checks and trigger unauthorized agent dispatch and downstream tool actions.
