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

 ### Fixes
 
 - Security/Net: harden SSRF IPv4 literal parsing to block octal/hex/short/packed legacy forms (for example `0177.0.0.1`, `127.1`, `2130706433`) in pre-DNS guard checks.
+- Security/Discord: enforce trusted-sender guild permission checks for moderation actions (`timeout`, `kick`, `ban`) and ignore untrusted `senderUserId` params to prevent privilege escalation in tool-driven flows. Thanks @aether-ai-agent for reporting.
 - Security/ACP: harden ACP bridge session management with duplicate-session refresh, idle-session reaping, oldest-idle soft-cap eviction, and burst rate limiting on session creation to reduce local DoS risk without disrupting normal IDE usage.
 - Security/Plugins/Hooks: add optional `--pin` for npm plugin/hook installs, persist resolved npm metadata (`name`, `version`, `spec`, integrity, shasum, timestamp), warn/confirm on integrity drift during updates, and extend `openclaw security audit` to flag unpinned specs, missing integrity metadata, and install-record version drift.
 - Security/Plugins: harden plugin discovery by blocking unsafe candidates (root escapes, world-writable paths, suspicious ownership), add startup warnings when `plugins.allow` is empty with discoverable non-bundled plugins, and warn on loaded plugins without install/load-path provenance.
