Summary
OpenClaw: Feishu card actions could misclassify DMs and skip dmPolicy
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected versions:
< 2026.4.20 - Patched version:
2026.4.20
Release
Fixed in OpenClaw 2026.4.20.
Impact
Feishu card-action callbacks could synthesize a message event with DM conversations classified as group conversations. That skipped dmPolicy enforcement for card actions, so a sender in a Feishu DM could trigger card-action flows that should have been blocked by a restrictive DM policy.
The issue is limited to Feishu card-action handling. Severity is medium.
The application does not correctly enforce access controls, allowing a principal to access resources or operations beyond their granted permissions. Typical impact: unauthorized data access or execution of privileged operations.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

OpenClaw now resolves Feishu card-action chat type before dispatch, including API lookup when stored context is unavailable, and avoids falling through to group handling for DMs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is GHSA-72Q8-JCMC-97WX? GHSA-72Q8-JCMC-97WX is a medium-severity incorrect authorization vulnerability in openclaw (npm), affecting versions < 2026.4.20. It is fixed in 2026.4.20. The application does not correctly enforce access controls, allowing a principal to access resources or operations beyond their granted permissions.
- Which versions of openclaw are affected by GHSA-72Q8-JCMC-97WX? openclaw (npm) versions < 2026.4.20 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-72Q8-JCMC-97WX? Yes. GHSA-72Q8-JCMC-97WX is fixed in 2026.4.20. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is GHSA-72Q8-JCMC-97WX exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-72Q8-JCMC-97WX is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether GHSA-72Q8-JCMC-97WX is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
