Description

Summary

When Nextcloud Talk webhook signing was valid, replayed requests could be accepted without durable replay suppression, allowing duplicate inbound processing after replay-window expiry or process restart.

Details

OpenClaw's Nextcloud Talk webhook path verified HMAC(secret, random + body) but previously lacked durable replay state tied to webhook events. This allowed replay of a previously valid signed request in some operational conditions.

The fix on main adds:

  • persistent per-account replay dedupe for Nextcloud Talk webhook events,
  • replay checks before webhook side effects (onMessage),
  • backend-origin validation against configured account base URL (when configured).

Impact

A captured valid signed webhook request could be replayed to trigger duplicate inbound handling. This is an integrity/availability issue (duplicate actions/noise), scoped to deployments using Nextcloud Talk webhook integration.
