Description

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: openclaw (npm)
Affected versions: < 2026.4.20
Patched version: 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.

Fix

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.

Fix commit:

90979d7c3ef7ec30b9f8aa6963a5e38d2f17d166

Release

Fixed in OpenClaw 2026.4.20.
