Background

OpenClaw is an npm package designed for managing media delivery queues in applications. It facilitates the handling of media sessions, ensuring that media is delivered according to specific group policies. However, a vulnerability has been identified that could compromise the enforcement of these policies during the recovery of delivery queues, potentially leading to unauthorized media access.

Vulnerability Detail

The vulnerability arises from the delivery queue recovery process, which may lose the group tool-policy context necessary for enforcing media restrictions. This issue can lead to a situation where recovered queued outbound media is replayed without the original session context, weakening the intended restrictions on media channels after a restart or recovery. The technical fix involves persisting and replaying the relevant session context with delivery queue entries, ensuring that recovered media dispatch undergoes the same policy checks as during the original session.
