An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of GHSA-6rmx-gvvg-vh6j in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- openclaw (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 2026.3.7\n- openclaw (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 2026.3.7\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-6rmx-gvvg-vh6j/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-6rmx-gvvg-vh6j/index.md)","id":"GHSA-6rmx-gvvg-vh6j","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-6rmx-gvvg-vh6j/index.md","name":"GHSA-6rmx-gvvg-vh6j","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenClaw webhook handler","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can trigger temporary lockouts of webhook delivery by sending invalid non-POST requests, causing denial of service for legitimate hooks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"OpenClaw's hooks HTTP handler counted hook authentication failures before rejecting unsupported HTTP methods. An unauthenticated client could send repeated non-`POST` requests (for example `GET`) with an invalid token to consume the hook auth failure budget and trigger the temporary lockout window for that client key.\n\nThe fix moves the hook method gate ahead of auth-failure accounting so unsupported methods return `405 Method Not Allowed` without incrementing the hook auth limiter.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Affected versions: `\u003c= 2026.3.2`\n- Patched version: `2026.3.7`\n- Latest published npm version at patch time: `2026.3.2`\n\n## Impact\n\nAn unauthenticated network client that could reach `/hooks/*` could temporarily lock out legitimate webhook delivery when requests collapsed to the same hook auth client key, such as shared proxy or NAT topologies. Impact is limited to temporary availability loss for hook-triggered wake or automation delivery.\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n\n- `44820dceadac65ac7c0ce8fc0ffba8c2bd9fae89`\n\n## Verification\n\n- `pnpm check` passed\n- `pnpm test:fast` passed\n- focused hook regression tests passed\n- `pnpm exec vitest run --config vitest.gateway.config.ts` still has unrelated current-`main` failures in `src/gateway/server-channels.test.ts` and `src/gateway/server-methods/agents-mutate.test.ts`\n\n## Release Process Note\n\nnpm `2026.3.7` was published on March 8, 2026. This advisory is fixed in the released package.\n\nThanks @JNX03 for reporting.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":true,"headline":"OpenClaw's hooks count non-POST requests toward auth lockout","id":"GHSA-6rmx-gvvg-vh6j","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"advisory","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["2026.3.7"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"openclaw","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-6rmx-gvvg-vh6j"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["2026.3.7"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"openclaw","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw","source":"GHSA-6rmx-gvvg-vh6j"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-03-09","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can trigger temporary lockouts of webhook delivery by sending invalid non-POST requests, causing denial of service for legitimate hooks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-6rmx-gvvg-vh6j/"}
