GHSA-5847-RM3G-23MW OpenClaw has hook auth rate limiter bypass via IPv4-mapped IPv6 client key variants

Vulnerability The hook authentication throttle keyed failed attempts by raw socket remoteAddress text. IPv4 and IPv4-mapped IPv6 forms of the same client for example 1.2.3.4 and ::ffff:1.2.3.4 were treated as different clients, allowing separate rate-limit buckets. Impact An attacker could split...
