Описание
OpenClaw has an inbound allowlist policy bypass in voice-call extension (empty caller ID + suffix matching)
Summary
An authentication bypass in the optional voice-call extension/plugin allowed unapproved or anonymous callers to reach the voice-call agent when inbound policy was set to allowlist or pairing.
Deployments that do not install/enable the voice-call extension are not affected.
Affected Packages / Versions
openclaw(npm):<= 2026.2.1- Fixed in:
>= 2026.2.2
Details
In affected versions (for example 2026.2.1), the inbound allowlist check in extensions/voice-call/src/manager.ts used suffix-based matching and accepted empty caller IDs after normalization.
This allowed two bypasses:
- Missing/empty
fromvalues normalized to an empty string, which caused the allowlist predicate to evaluate as allowed. - Suffix-based matching meant any caller number whose digits ended with an allowlisted number would be accepted.
Proof Of Concept
- Configure the voice-call extension with
inboundPolicy: allowlistandallowFrom: ["+15550001234"]. - Place/trigger an inbound call with missing/empty caller ID (provider-dependent; for example anonymous/restricted caller). The call is accepted.
- Place a call from a number whose E.164 digits end with
15550001234(for example+99915550001234). The call is accepted.
Impact
Only operators who install/enable the optional voice-call extension and use inboundPolicy=allowlist or pairing could have inbound access controls bypassed, potentially allowing unauthorized callers to reach auto-response and tool execution.
Fix
The fix hardens inbound policy handling:
- Reject inbound calls when caller ID is missing.
- Require strict equality when comparing normalized caller IDs against the allowlist (no suffix/prefix matching).
- Add regression tests for missing caller ID, anonymous caller ID, and suffix-collision cases.

Связанные уязвимости
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.1 with the voice-call extension installed and enabled contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in inbound allowlist policy validation that accepts empty caller IDs and uses suffix-based matching instead of strict equality. Remote attackers can bypass inbound access controls by placing calls with missing caller IDs or numbers ending with allowlisted digits to reach the voice-call agent and execute tools.
