OpenClaw < 2026.4.23 - Webhook Route Secret Cache Not Invalidated After Rotation

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 08.05.2026 Published: 11.05.2026 Updated: 11.05.2026

OpenClaw before 2026.4.23 caches resolved webhook route secrets backed by SecretRef values, allowing stale secrets to remain valid after rotation and reload. Attackers with previously valid webhook route secrets can continue authenticating requests and invoking configured webhook task flows until gateway or plugin restart.
