Published: May 4, 2026
Vulnerability identifier: #VU129445
CSH Severity: Medium
CVSS v4: 8.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CWE-ID: CWE-208
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability:
No public exploit available
Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to observable timing discrepancy in hooks authentication when comparing the provided hook token. A remote attacker can send many requests and measure response timing to disclose sensitive information.
Reliable exploitation typically requires the hooks endpoint to be exposed to an untrusted network, and real-world latency and jitter can make timing measurements difficult.
Affected software
OpenClaw
