CRITICAL

Nextcloud Talk allowlist bypass via actor.name display name spoofing

Published February 17, 2026Updated March 5, 2026Source: osv

Summary

## Summary In affected versions of the optional Nextcloud Talk plugin (installed separately; not bundled with the core OpenClaw install), an untrusted webhook field (`actor.name`, display name) could be treated as an allowlist identifier. An attacker could change their Nextcloud display name to match an allowlisted user ID and bypass DM or room allowlists. ## Details Nextcloud Talk webhook payloads provide a stable sender identifier (`actor.id`) and a mutable display name (`actor.name`). In affected versions, the plugin’s allowlist matching accepted equality on the display name, which is attacker-controlled. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `@openclaw/nextcloud-talk` (npm) - Affected: `<= 2026.2.2` - Fixed: `>= 2026.2.6` Note: This advisory applies to the optional Nextcloud Talk plugin package. Core `openclaw` is not impacted unless you installed and use `@openclaw/nextcloud-talk`. ## Fix Commit(s) - [6b4b6049b47c3329a7014509594647826669892d](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/6b4b6049b47c3329a7014509594647826669892d) ## Timeline - Introduced: [660f87278c9f292061e097441e0b10c20d62b31b](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/660f87278c9f292061e097441e0b10c20d62b31b) (2026-01-20) - Fixed in repo: [6b4b6049b47c3329a7014509594647826669892d](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/6b4b6049b47c3329a7014509594647826669892d) (2026-02-04 UTC) - First fixed tag containing the change: [v2026.2.3](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/releases/tag/v2026.2.3) - First fixed npm release of `@openclaw/nextcloud-talk`: `2026.2.6` (published 2026-02-07 UTC) ## Mitigation Upgrade `@openclaw/nextcloud-talk` to `>= 2026.2.6`. ## Release Process Note The patched version range is set to the first npm release that contains the fix.
