Description

OpenClaw Discord moderation authorization used untrusted sender identity in tool-driven flows

Overview

Discord moderation action handling (timeout, kick, ban) used sender identity from request parameters in tool-driven flows, instead of trusted runtime sender context.

Impact

In setups where Discord moderation actions are enabled and the bot has the necessary guild permissions, a non-admin user could request moderation actions by spoofing sender identity fields.
