Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates this is a network-accessible vulnerability requiring no authentication (PR:N) with high attack complexity (AC:H) and partial time-based constraints (AT:P), resulting in a base score of 6.3. The attack vector is remote (AV:N) with limited confidentiality and integrity impact (VC:L, VI:L). While the CVSS score is moderate, the practical exploitation probability is constrained by high attack complexity and partial time requirements, suggesting this is not a trivial vulnerability to exploit in real-world scenarios. The fact that a vendor patch is available and the vulnerability has been publicly disclosed through both GitHub advisories and VulnCheck indicates this is a known issue requiring timely remediation. The authentication bypass nature of the vulnerability and its impact on access control policies elevate its severity beyond the base CVSS score, particularly for multi-account deployments. No confirmed active exploitation or exploitation probability data (EPSS) is provided, so real-world risk depends heavily on deployment prevalence and attacker motivation.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker identifies two separate OpenClaw accounts both configured with Synology Chat webhooks, potentially with identical or inherited webhook paths due to misconfiguration or template reuse. The attacker crafts a request targeting the webhook endpoint with a manipulated path parameter that collapses the routing logic for both accounts onto a single endpoint. This allows the attacker to intercept or redirect direct messages intended for one account to another, or to trigger actions within protected accounts without the normal per-account authentication checks. The high attack complexity and partial time constraints suggest the attacker must have detailed knowledge of the target's webhook configuration and may need to time the request during a specific operational window.

AnalysisAIv1 – Apr 09, 2026

OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains a webhook path route replacement vulnerability in its Synology Chat extension that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass per-account direct message access controls by collapsing multi-account configurations onto shared webhook paths. Attackers can exploit inherited or duplicate webhook paths to replace route ownership across accounts, potentially gaining unauthorized access to account-specific resources. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at the time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.3.22 or later. The fix is available in the upstream repository with commits referenced at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/630f1479c44f78484dfa21bb407cbe6f171dac87 and https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/980940aa58f862da4e19372597bbc2a9f268d70b. For additional context and technical details about the vulnerability, consult the security advisory at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-rqp8-q22p-5j9q and the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-webhook-path-route-replacement-vulnerability-in-synology-chat. Until patching is possible, organizations should review and audit their webhook path configurations to identify and isolate any duplicate or inherited paths across multi-account setups.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability stems from improper validation of webhook path routing in OpenClaw's Synology Chat extension, classified under CWE-706 (Use of Incorrectly-Resolved Name or Reference). The root cause involves insufficient separation of webhook path namespaces across multi-account configurations, allowing an attacker to manipulate routing logic by providing crafted webhook paths that inherit or duplicate existing paths. This results in route ownership being reassigned across distinct accounts, effectively bypassing access control policies that depend on per-account webhook isolation. The vulnerability affects OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.22 as indicated by the CPE specification cpe:2.3:a:openclaw:openclaw:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, which covers all versions before the patched release.
