Description
OpenClaw versions before 2026.4.2 have an origin validation error that allows unauthorized Slack thread messages to be injected into the agent context. This occurs because the software fails to properly filter thread context by a sender allowlist, enabling attackers to bypass sender access controls via allowlisted user replies. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-41358 and has a low severity rating.
