OpenClaw path collision improper authorization in Synology Chat webhook

Severity: low · CVSS 3.1 · Published 2026-04-10

Technologies: Openclaw. Vendors: Openclaw.

Executive brief

OpenClaw is a messaging integration framework that handles webhooks for Synology Chat, a business communication platform. A vulnerability in webhook path handling allows attackers to collapse multi-account configurations onto shared paths, bypassing per-account access control policies and potentially exposing private messages across accounts.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an improper authorization issue (CWE-285) in OpenClaw's Synology Chat extension where webhook path routing can be compromised through path collision. Multi-account configurations can collapse onto a shared webhook path, causing route ownership replacement and bypassing per-account DM access control policies. The attack is network-accessible with high complexity (AC:H) and requires no authentication. An attacker can exploit inherited or duplicate webhook paths to access private messages across different account contexts. The fix, released in version 2026.3.22, distinguishes inherited base paths from explicit per-account paths and fails closed on path collisions.
