Description
Summary
Before OpenClaw 2026.3.31, the Zalo webhook replay-dedupe cache was shared across authenticated webhook targets and keyed too broadly. In multi-account deployments, a replay seen on one account could suppress a legitimate event on another account if event_name and message_id matched.
Impact
An attacker who controlled one authenticated Zalo webhook path in a multi-account gateway deployment could cause silent message suppression on a different Zalo account sharing that gateway. This was an availability issue; it did not provide cross-account authentication or data access.
