CVE-2026-53857 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.5.3 contains a policy enforcement vulnerability where Zalo contacts with mutable display metadata could match allowFrom policy entries through display name changes. Attackers with mutable display names could receive agent responses intended for different Zalo identities when the feature is enabled.
A policy enforcement vulnerability exists in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.5.3, where Zalo contacts with mutable display metadata could improperly match allowFrom policy entries. This issue arises because attackers can change their display names, potentially leading to the receipt of agent responses meant for different Zalo identities when the feature is active.
Users are advised to update to OpenClaw version 2026.5.3 or later. Until then, use stable Zalo identifiers when available, restrict friend access, and keep channel and tool allowlists narrow. Avoid sharing one Gateway between untrusted users and disable the affected feature when not needed.
