+  "details": "### Summary\nIn certain elevated-mode configurations, `tools.elevated.allowFrom` accepted broader identity signals than intended. The fix tightens matching to sender-scoped identity by default and makes mutable metadata matching explicit.\n\n### Context\nOpenClaw is commonly used in 1:1 chats or trusted group chats. In that intended model, this issue is best treated as authorization hardening / defense-in-depth for elevated sender approval.\n\n### Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Latest published npm version at triage: `2026.2.21-2`\n- Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.21-2`\n- Planned patched version (pre-set for publish-ready advisory): `2026.2.22`\n\n### Details\nElevated sender authorization now matches sender-scoped identity values only by default (`SenderId`, `From`, `SenderE164`) and no longer considers recipient routing fields such as `ctx.To`.\n\nMutable sender metadata (`SenderName`, `SenderUsername`, `SenderTag`) now requires explicit allowlist prefixes (`name:`, `username:`, `tag:`). Explicit identity prefixes are also supported (`id:`, `from:`, `e164:`).\n\n### Fix Commit(s)\n- `6817c0ec7b4fa830123d4f5c340f075a4bd04ee2`\n\n### Release Process Note\nThe advisory `patched_versions` is pre-set to the planned next release (`2026.2.22`). Once npm `openclaw@2026.2.22` is published, this advisory can be published without additional content edits.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @jiseoung for reporting.",
