Model manipulation via trusted Slack channel metadata
Published Feb 19, 2026 · Updated Feb 19, 2026
Prompt injection in OpenClaw before 2026.2.3 allows remote authenticated users to influence model behavior through Slack channel metadata. The Slack message handler placed attacker-controlled channel topics and descriptions in GroupSystemPrompt, causing the model to interpret metadata as trusted system input. The Slack integration must be enabled, an affected channel must supply the metadata, and model interaction is required; the vendor characterizes the issue as defense-in-depth with configuration-dependent confidentiality and integrity impact.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
