Affected packages
• npm openclaw: < 2026.2.14 → fixed in 2026.2.14
Description
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: `= 2026.2.14` (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.
