Affected packages

• npm @openclaw/nextcloud-talk: < 2026.2.6 → fixed in 2026.2.6

Description

Summary In affected versions of the optional Nextcloud Talk plugin (installed separately; not bundled with the core OpenClaw install), an untrusted webhook field (`actor.name`, display name) could be treated as an allowlist identifier. An attacker could change their Nextcloud display name to match an allowlisted user ID and bypass DM or room allowlists. Details Nextcloud Talk webhook payloads provide a stable sender identifier (`actor.id`) and a mutable display name (`actor.name`). In affected versions, the plugin’s allowlist matching accepted equality on the display name, which is attacker-controlled. Affected Packages / Versions • Package: `@openclaw/nextcloud-talk` (npm) • Affected: `= 2026.2.6` Note: This advisory applies to the optional Nextcloud Talk plugin package. Core `openclaw` is not impacted unless you installed and use `@openclaw/nextcloud-talk`. Fix Commit(s) • 6b4b6049b47c3329a7014509594647826669892d Timeline • Introduced: 660f87278c9f292061e097441e0b10c20d62b31b (2026-01-20) • Fixed in repo: 6b4b6049b47c3329a7014509594647826669892d (2026-02-04 UTC) • First fixed tag containing the change: v2026.2.3 • First fixed npm release of `@openclaw/nextcloud-talk`: `2026.2.6` (published 2026-02-07 UTC) Mitigation Upgrade `@openclaw/nextcloud-talk` to `>= 2026.2.6`.
