GHSA-6rmx-gvvg-vh6j: OpenClaw's hooks count non-POST requests toward auth lockout

March 9, 2026

OpenClaw’s hooks HTTP handler counted hook authentication failures before rejecting unsupported HTTP methods. An unauthenticated client could send repeated non-POST requests (for example GET) with an invalid token to consume the hook auth failure budget and trigger the temporary lockout window for that client key.

The fix moves the hook method gate ahead of auth-failure accounting so unsupported methods return 405 Method Not Allowed without incrementing the hook auth limiter.
