OpenClaw < 2026.3.25 - Pre-Authentication Rate-Limit Bypass in Webhook Token Validation

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 04.04.2026 Published: 09.04.2026 Updated: 10.04.2026

OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains a pre-authentication rate-limit bypass vulnerability in webhook token validation that allows attackers to brute-force weak webhook secrets. The vulnerability exists because invalid webhook tokens are rejected without throttling repeated authentication attempts, enabling attackers to guess weak tokens through rapid successive requests.
