CVE-2026-22170 Details
Description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 with the optional BlueBubbles plugin contain an access control bypass vulnerability where empty allowFrom configuration causes dmPolicy pairing and allowlist restrictions to be ineffective. Remote attackers can send direct messages to BlueBubbles accounts by exploiting the misconfigured allowlist validation logic to bypass intended sender authorization checks.
A vulnerability allowing access control bypass has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22, specifically within the optional BlueBubbles plugin. The issue arises when the 'allowFrom' configuration is left empty, rendering the direct message (DM) policy pairing and allowlist restrictions ineffective. This misconfiguration allows remote attackers to send direct messages to BlueBubbles accounts by exploiting the flawed allowlist validation logic, thereby bypassing the intended sender authorization checks.
Users can update to OpenClaw version 2026.2.22 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
