GHSA-X2FF-J5C2-GGPR OpenClaw: Slack interactive callbacks could skip configured sender checks in some shared-workspace flows

Impact In shared Slack workspace deployments that rely on sender restrictions allowFrom, DM policy, or channel user allowlists, some interactive callbacks blockaction, viewsubmission, viewclosed could be accepted before full sender authorization checks. In that scenario, an unauthorized workspace...

Summary In certain workspace-restricted configurations, OpenClaw could follow hardlink aliases inside the workspace that reference files outside the workspace boundary. By default, tools.fs.workspaceOnly is off. This primarily affects deployments that intentionally enable workspace-only filesyste...
