Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
BlueBubbles Webhook Missing Guess Rate Limiting Enables Brute-Force Guessing of Weak Webhook Password
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw`
- Affected versions: `<= 2026.3.24`
- First patched version: `2026.3.25`
- Latest published npm version at verification time: `2026.3.24`
## Details
BlueBubbles webhook auth previously rejected wrong passwords without throttling repeated guesses, allowing brute-force attempts against weak webhook passwords. Commit `5e08ce36d522a1c96df2bfe88e39303ae2643d92` adds repeated-guess throttling before auth failure responses.
Verified vulnerable on tag `v2026.3.24` and fixed on `main` by commit `5e08ce36d522a1c96df2bfe88e39303ae2643d92`.
