Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-17 21:36 – Updated: 2026-03-10 22:21

Summary

OpenClaw has an inbound allowlist policy bypass in voice-call extension (empty caller ID + suffix matching)

Details

Summary

An authentication bypass in the optional voice-call extension/plugin allowed unapproved or anonymous callers to reach the voice-call agent when inbound policy was set to allowlist or pairing.

Deployments that do not install/enable the voice-call extension are not affected.

Affected Packages / Versions

openclaw (npm): <= 2026.2.1
Fixed in: >= 2026.2.2

Details

In affected versions (for example 2026.2.1), the inbound allowlist check in extensions/voice-call/src/manager.ts used suffix-based matching and accepted empty caller IDs after normalization.

This allowed two bypasses:

Missing/empty from values normalized to an empty string, which caused the allowlist predicate to evaluate as allowed.
Suffix-based matching meant any caller number whose digits ended with an allowlisted number would be accepted.

Proof Of Concept

Configure the voice-call extension with inboundPolicy: allowlist and allowFrom: ["+15550001234"].
Place/trigger an inbound call with missing/empty caller ID (provider-dependent; for example anonymous/restricted caller). The call is accepted.
Place a call from a number whose E.164 digits end with 15550001234 (for example +99915550001234). The call is accepted.

Impact

Only operators who install/enable the optional voice-call extension and use inboundPolicy=allowlist or pairing could have inbound access controls bypassed, potentially allowing unauthorized callers to reach auto-response and tool execution.

Fix

The fix hardens inbound policy handling:

Reject inbound calls when caller ID is missing.
Require strict equality when comparing normalized caller IDs against the allowlist (no suffix/prefix matching).
Add regression tests for missing caller ID, anonymous caller ID, and suffix-collision cases.

CVE-2026-28446 (GCVE-0-2026-28446)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-03-05 21:59 – Updated: 2026-03-11 13:41

Title

OpenClaw < 2026.2.1 - Inbound Allowlist Policy Bypass in voice-call Extension via Empty Caller ID and Suffix Matching

Summary

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.1 with the voice-call extension installed and enabled contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in inbound allowlist policy validation that accepts empty caller IDs and uses suffix-based matching instead of strict equality. Remote attackers can bypass inbound access controls by placing calls with missing caller IDs or numbers ending with allowlisted digits to reach the voice-call agent and execute tools.
