MEDIUMOpenClaw Twilio voice-call webhook auth bypass when ngrok loopback compatibility is enabled
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

openclawnpmDescription
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.allowNgrokFreeTierLoopbackBypasswas 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.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update openclaw to 2026.2.14 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-c37p-4qqg-3p76 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-c37p-4qqg-3p76 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-c37p-4qqg-3p76. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-c37p-4qqg-3p76 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-c37p-4qqg-3p76 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
