Why it matters

CVE-2026-28465 is a HIGH severity vulnerability in OpenClaw's voice-call plugin that allows remote attackers to bypass webhook verification, potentially enabling attackers to spoof webhook events. Defenders should prioritize verifying and updating OpenClaw's voice-call plugin to version 2026.2.3 or later, and assess their exposure to this vulnerability.

  • Defenders need to verify and update OpenClaw's voice-call plugin to prevent potential spoofing of webhook events
  • Exposure to this vulnerability may allow attackers to bypass webhook verification
  • Defenders should assess their deployment contexts for potential exposure to this vulnerability

Technical summary

The vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass webhook verification by supplying untrusted forwarded headers, potentially enabling attackers to spoof webhook events. This is due to an improper authentication vulnerability in webhook verification in OpenClaw's voice-call plugin versions before 2026.2.3. The issue arises from the plugin's handling of Forwarded or X-Forwarded-* headers in reverse-proxy configurations that implicitly trust these headers. Defenders should prioritize verifying and updating OpenClaw's voice-call plugin to version 2026.2.3 or later.

Defensive priority

Defenders should prioritize verifying and updating OpenClaw's voice-call plugin to version 2026.2.3 or later, and assess their exposure to this vulnerability.

Recommended defensive actions

  • Verify and update OpenClaw's voice-call plugin to version 2026.2.3 or later
  • Assess exposure to this vulnerability
  • Monitor for potential spoofing of webhook events
  • Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
  • Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
  • Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
  • Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
