OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 downloads and stores inbound media from Zalo channels before validating sender authorization. Unauthorized senders can force network fetches and disk writes to the media store by sending messages that are subsequently rejected.
## Summary
The Zalo image path fetched and stored inbound media before the DM/pairing authorization checks ran.
## Impact
Unauthorized senders could force network fetches and disk writes in the inbound media store even when the message itself was rejected.
## Affected Component
`extensions/zalo/src/monitor.ts`
## Fixed Versions
- Affected: `<= 2026.3.24`
- Patched: `>= 2026.3.28`
- Latest stable `2026.3.28` contains the fix.
## Fix
Fixed by commit `68ceaf7a5f` (`zalo: gate image downloads before DM auth`).
