CVE-2026-28464

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.12 use non-constant-time string comparison for hook token validation, allowing attackers to infer tokens through timing measurements. Remote attackers with network access to the hooks endpoint can exploit timing side-channels across multiple requests to gradually determine the authentication token.

Summary
  • (es) Versiones de OpenClaw anteriores a la 2026.2.12 utilizan una comparación de cadenas de tiempo no constante para la validación de tokens de hook, lo que permite a los atacantes inferir tokens a través de mediciones de tiempo. Atacantes remotos con acceso de red al endpoint de hooks pueden explotar canales laterales de tiempo a través de múltiples solicitudes para determinar gradualmente el token de autenticación.
