Description

OpenClaw versions up to 2026.4.2 have a vulnerability where concurrent asynchronous authentication attempts can bypass the intended shared-secret rate-limit budget on Tailscale-capable paths. This race condition allows exceeding the per-key rate limit. The issue is fixed in version 2026.4.4.
