CVE-2026-100571: DoS (CVSS 5.3)

Description

OpenClaw (npm package 'openclaw') versions >= 2026.6.6 and < 2026.8.1 apply the SMS webhook invalid-request rate limit before Twilio signature verification and identify clients only by the raw proxy socket address. In deployments where the SMS/Twilio webhook sits behind a trusted reverse proxy or tunnel so that multiple external clients share one socket address, an unauthenticated remote sender can exhaust the shared pre-authentication rate-limit budget with invalid requests, causing subsequent correctly signed Twilio callbacks to receive HTTP 429 responses. The result is temporary inbound SMS loss while the shared window remains exhausted; the attacker cannot forge a callback or access message data. Fixed in 2026.8.1.
