Technical details

A policy bypass vulnerability exists in OpenClaw's QQBot admin command implementation due to incorrect authorization checks (CWE-863). Specifically, the software fails to properly enforce 'DM-only' and 'allowFrom' policy restrictions when an authenticated sender triggers exported commands. This allows an attacker who can reach the command path to route administrative actions from unauthorized contexts or senders. The vulnerability is reachable over the network by authenticated users. A fix is available in version 2026.4.29, and users are advised to disable exported QQBot admin commands as a temporary mitigation.
