GHSA-4cqv-h74h-93j4

OpenClaw supports Discord allowlists using either user IDs or names/tags. Name/tag matching depends on slug normalization, so different user tags can collide to the same slug and unintentionally satisfy a name-based allowlist entry. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.21-2` - Patched versions: >= 2026.2.22 ## What Changed - `openclaw security audit` now warns on Discord name/tag allowlist entries (DM allowlists, guild/channel `users`, and pairing-store entries). - Runtime authorization now prefers resolved user IDs when a configured name/tag can be resolved, without rewriting config files on disk. - Name-based entries remain supported for compatibility. ## Recommendations - Prefer stable Discord user IDs for security-sensitive allowlists. - Run `openclaw security audit` and address warnings where practical. ## Fix Commit(s) - f97c45c5b5e0698b6667bb5f6badc0cac7dabd12 - 747bb581b3f2264495e1fec5a0727d9f2ca1b6f1 OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
