CVE-2026-26316 PUBLISHED

OpenClaw has BlueBubbles webhook auth bypass via loopback proxy trust

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 13.02.2026 Published: 19.02.2026 Updated: 19.02.2026

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to 2026.2.13, the optional BlueBubbles iMessage channel plugin could accept webhook requests as authenticated based only on the TCP peer address being loopback (127.0.0.1, ::1, ::ffff:127.0.0.1) even when the configured webhook secret was missing or incorrect. This does not affect the default iMessage integration unless BlueBubbles is installed and enabled. Version 2026.2.13 contains a patch. Other mitigations include setting a non-empty BlueBubbles webhook password and avoiding deployments where a public-facing reverse proxy forwards to a loopback-bound Gateway without strong upstream authentication.
