Summary

CVE-2026-41362 is a low-severity Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere (CWE-668) vulnerability in Openclaw Openclaw. Its CVSS base score is 2.3 (Low).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Application or System Exploitation (T1499.004); ranked at the 20th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) and SC-4 (Information in Shared System Resources) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

OpenClaw versions 2026.2.19 before 2026.3.31 contain an improper cache isolation vulnerability in the Zalo webhook replay-dedupe mechanism that is shared across authenticated webhook targets. Attackers controlling one authenticated Zalo webhook path in multi-account deployments can suppress legitimate events on different…

accounts by matching event_name and message_id parameters.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1499.004 Application or System Exploitation Impact
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities that can cause an application or system to crash and deny availability to users.
Why these techniques?

Vulnerability enables cross-tenant suppression of webhook events via shared cache, directly facilitating application-layer DoS through exploitation of the replay-dedupe logic.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly prevents unauthorized information transfer (event suppression) through the shared replay-dedupe cache across authenticated webhook accounts.

prevent

Enforces information flow policies so that deduplication metadata from one account's webhook cannot affect events belonging to other accounts.

prevent

Access enforcement must be applied to the cache keys (event_name + message_id) to ensure operations are confined to the authenticated account's scope.

PR.AA-05 mostly match
prevents

Enforcing least-privilege authorizations directly prevents resources from being exposed outside their intended control sphere.

PR.IR-01 partial match
prevents

Network segmentation and unauthorized-access protections reduce the chance of resources being reachable by the wrong sphere.

mitigates

Placing systems of differing trust levels into separate domains prevents resources from being placed in a sphere where they are reachable by unintended actors.

none

Requiring owners to manage the full asset life cycle and remove assets from the inventory upon secure disposal helps prevent resources from being inadvertently exposed outside their intended security sphere.
