Last modified

CVE-2026-35646 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.3/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
