### Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-mgq6-vr84-7m2j. This link is maintained to preserve external references.
### Original Description
OpenClaw before 2026.5.18 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in QQBot native approval buttons that fails to enforce configured approver identity. Non-approver users can click approval buttons to resolve pending exec or plugin approval requests without proper authorization.
### Summary
OpenClaw's QQBot channel can deliver native approval buttons for exec and plugin approvals. In affected releases, the button callback path resolved approvals without enforcing the configured QQBot approver identity.
The text command approval path used the authorization check; the issue was specific to native QQBot approval buttons.
### Affected configurations
This affects deployments where QQBot native approval buttons are enabled and an approval message is visible to a QQ user who is not configured as an approver.
### Impact
A non-approver who could see the approval message could click an approval button and resolve the pending request. Depending on the pending approval, this could allow an exec or plugin action that should have required an authorized approver.
### Patched Versions
The first stable patched version is `2026.5.18`.
### Mitigations
Upgrade to `[email protected]` or later. Before upgrading, avoid delivering native approval buttons into QQ conversations that include users who should not be able to approve.
CISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.
Which CVEs have scores here?
This view includes predictions for CVE identifiers explicitly listed in public NuGet advisories. Microsoft release pages have their own prediction coverage. Check source status for the scope and latest checks.
No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.
Risk history
Compare earlier KEV listings and daily EPSS scores. Advisory wording and affected versions have a separate history.
When does an EPSS score appear as a change?
A prediction change is reported when EPSS rises from below 10% to 10% or higher. Other daily score changes remain in this history.

How advisory history works
Each link identifies one complete publisher record. History can include advisories that previously shared an identifier; an identifier removed by a publisher no longer establishes a current relationship. A historical link shows only that record and earlier saved versions. Failed checks and unchanged reads do not create new versions.
