OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25 fail to enforce dmPolicy and allowFrom authorization checks on Discord direct-message reaction notifications, allowing non-allowlisted users to enqueue reaction-derived system events. Attackers can exploit this inconsistency by reacting to bot-authored DM messages to bypass DM authorization restrictions and trigger downstream automation or tool policies.
