Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 25/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.51% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: OpenClaw OpenClaw 2026.5.26.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to OpenClaw OpenClaw 2026.5.26 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
OpenClaw 2026.2.25 before 2026.5.26 allow a lower-trust caller or configured input path to bypass non-browser rate limits on WebSocket authentication attempts. When the affected feature is enabled and reachable by lower-trust input, this can consume gateway resources and reduce service availability.
