Detailsinfo
A vulnerability was found in OpenClaw up to 2026.3.30. It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects an unknown function of the component Nostr DM Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a signature verification vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-347. The product does not verify, or incorrectly verifies, the cryptographic signature for data. As an impact it is known to affect availability. CVE summarizes:
OpenClaw versions 2026.3.22 before 2026.3.31 contain a signature verification bypass vulnerability in the Nostr DM ingress path that allows pairing challenges to be issued before event signature validation. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send forged direct messages to create pending pairing entries and trigger pairing-reply attempts, consuming shared pairing capacity and triggering bounded relay and logging work on the Nostr channel.
The weakness was shared by KeenSecurityLab as GHSA-h43v-27wg-5mf9. The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-41301 since 04/20/2026.
