Description
Summary
OpenClaw hooks previously compared the provided hook token using a regular string comparison. Because this comparison is not constant-time, an attacker with network access to the hooks endpoint could potentially use timing measurements across many requests to gradually infer the token.
In practice, this typically requires hooks to be exposed to an untrusted network and a large number of requests; real-world latency and jitter can make reliable measurement difficult.
Affected Packages / Versions
- openclaw (npm): < 2026.2.12
Patched Versions
- openclaw (npm): >= 2026.2.12
Mitigations
- Upgrade to openclaw >= 2026.2.12.
- If users cannot upgrade immediately: restrict network access to the hooks endpoint and rotate the hooks token after updating.

OpenClaw thanks @akhmittra for reporting.
NVD description
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.
