Description

OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains a missing rate limiting vulnerability in Telegram webhook authentication that allows attackers to brute-force weak webhook secrets. The vulnerability enables repeated authentication guesses without throttling, permitting attackers to systematically guess webhook secrets through brute-force attacks.
