An authorized non-owner channel sender can change whether the agent requires mention-based activation, causing the agent to respond more broadly in the group (exposing its responses to additional group traffic) or suppressing expected activation behavior until an owner restores the intended setting. The issue is fixed in version 2026.7.1.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":30,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":29.7,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
