DescriptionCVE.org
OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains a webhook replay vulnerability in Plivo V3 signature verification that canonicalizes query ordering for signatures but hashes raw URLs for replay detection. Attackers can reorder query parameters to bypass replay cache detection and trigger duplicate voice-call processing with a captured valid signed webhook.
AnalysisAI
Webhook replay attacks in OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 allow remote attackers to trigger duplicate voice-call processing by reordering query parameters in captured Plivo V3 signed webhooks. The vulnerability stems from inconsistent canonicalization: signature verification sorts query parameters before validation, but replay detection hashes the raw URL with original parameter ordering. Attackers possessing a single valid signed webhook can bypass replay cache indefinitely by permuting query string order, causing repeated execution of voice-call workflows without requiring authentication or cryptographic breaks. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though attack complexity is low (CVSS AC:L) with network vector (AV:N) requiring no privileges (PR:N).
Technical ContextAI
OpenClaw implements Plivo V3 webhook signature verification, a cryptographic mechanism where Plivo signs webhook payloads using HMAC to prove authenticity. The affected product (cpe:2.3:a:openclaw:openclaw:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) contains a classic canonicalization vulnerability (CWE-325: Missing Cryptographic Step) in its dual-path processing. The signature verification code canonicalizes query parameters into sorted order before computing the signature hash, following Plivo's specification. However, the replay detection mechanism operates on the raw, unsorted URL string for cache key generation. Since HTTP query parameters are order-independent semantically (e.g., ?a=1&b=2 equals ?b=2&a=1), an attacker can generate N factorial permutations of N parameters from a single captured webhook, each producing a different cache key while maintaining signature validity. This creates an unbounded replay window despite OpenClaw's intended replay protection.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.3.28 or later, which addresses the canonicalization inconsistency by applying identical query parameter sorting to both signature verification and replay cache key generation. Vendor advisory with patch details: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-8689-gm9g-jgr6. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement compensating controls: (1) Add application-level idempotency keys to webhook payloads independent of URL structure, using Plivo's custom header support or payload body fields for unique transaction identifiers; (2) Implement strict webhook source IP allowlisting to Plivo's published IP ranges, reducing attacker's ability to capture valid webhooks, though this does not prevent replay by compromised infrastructure or MITM attackers; (3) Add timestamp-based replay windows (reject webhooks older than 5 minutes) as defense-in-depth, noting this trades protection against clock skew issues. Note that URL normalization at the reverse proxy layer will NOT fix this issue, as the signature must be verified against the original signed URL format. Workarounds reduce but do not eliminate risk until patching.
