OpenClaw: Fake DeviceToken Bypasses Shared Auth Rate Limiting
## Summary Fake DeviceToken Bypasses Shared Auth Rate Limiting ## Current Maintainer Triage - Status: narrow - Normalized severity: low - Assessment: Real in shipped mixed WS auth flow, but practical risk is mostly weak shared-password deployments since strong shared tokens remain non-bruteforceable. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published npm version: `2026.3.31` - Vulnerable version range: `<=2026.3.28` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.31` - First stable tag containing the fix: `v2026.3.31` ## Fix Commit(s) - `af0c0862f22ca4492406a3103d05e3628f94cbe9` — 2026-03-31T09:08:57+09:00 ## Release Process Note - The fix is already present in released version `2026.3.31`. OpenClaw thanks @kexinoh of Tencent zhuque Lab (https://github.com/Tencent/AI-Infra-Guard) for reporting.
