Summary

CVE-2026-41341 is a low-severity Insufficient Type Distinction (CWE-351) vulnerability in Openclaw Openclaw. Its CVSS base score is 2.3 (Low).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 2th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and AC-16 (Security and Privacy Attributes) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a logic error in Discord component interaction routing that misclassifies group direct messages as direct messages in extensions/discord/src/monitor/agent-components-helpers.ts. Attackers can exploit this misclassification to bypass group DM policy enforcement or trigger incorrect session handling.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Input validation can reject or correctly classify data whose type is ambiguous or incorrect, stopping the weakness at entry points.

Associating security and privacy attributes with objects supplies the mechanism needed to distinguish element types and enforce handling rules.

Information flow enforcement requires explicit rules that distinguish information types or categories before permitting transfer.
