OpenClaw Twilio voice-call webhook auth bypass when ngrok loopback compatibility is enabled
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
A Twilio webhook signature-verification bypass in the voice-call extension could allow unauthenticated webhook requests when a specific ngrok free-tier compatibility option is enabled.
## Impact
This issue is limited to configurations that explicitly enable and expose the voice-call webhook endpoint.
Not affected by default:
- The voice-call extension is optional and disabled by default.
- The bypass only applied when `tunnel.allowNgrokFreeTierLoopbackBypass` was explicitly enabled.
- Exploitation required the webhook to be reachable (typically via a public ngrok URL during development).
Worst case (when exposed and the option was enabled):
- An external attacker could send forged requests to the publicly reachable webhook endpoint that would be accepted without a valid `X-Twilio-Signature`.
- This could result in unauthorized webhook event handling (integrity) and request flooding (availability).
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw` (npm)
- Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.13` (latest published as of 2026-02-14)
- Patched versions: `>= 2026.2.14` (planned next release; pending publish)
## Fix
`allowNgrokFreeTierLoopbackBypass` no longer bypasses signature verification. It only enables trusting forwarded headers on loopback so the public ngrok URL can be reconstructed for correct signature validation.
