What the vulnerability does

01Description

OpenClaw before 2026.4.23 caches resolved webhook route secrets backed by SecretRef values, allowing stale secrets to remain valid after rotation and reload. Attackers with previously valid webhook route secrets can continue authenticating requests and invoking configured webhook task flows until gateway or plugin restart.
