This source file has a known vulnerability sink in it. Traverse the codebase and report the vulnerability. You can report multiple vulnerabilities. Start with `extensions/zalo/src/monitor.webhook.ts` and trace how inbound Zalo webhook events are classified as replays. Ground the report in the exact dedupe-key fields used before the fix, what event dimensions are omitted, and how that can cause legitimate events from different chats or different senders to be dropped.

{
"executiveSummary": "The Zalo webhook handler's replay protection mechanism uses an insufficiently scoped deduplication key that only incorporates the message ID without including chat/conversation context or sender identity. This causes legitimate webhook events from different chats or different senders to be incorrectly deduplicated and dropped when they share the same message ID, leading to message loss in production environments.",
"reports": [
{
"title": "Zalo Webhook Replay Detection Missing Chat and Sender Scoping in Dedupe Key",
"severity": "HIGH",
"summary": "The deduplication cache key in the Zalo webhook replay filter uses only the message ID without scoping by chat_id or sender_id. This allows message ID collisions across different conversations or different senders to trigger false-positive duplicate detection, causing legitimate events to be silently dropped.",
"rootCauseAnalysis": "Webhook replay protection typically constructs a deduplication key from event identifiers to prevent processing the same event multiple times. The vulnerability exists because the dedupe key construction in the replay filter omits critical dimensions that would distinguish unique messages: the chat/conversation identifier and the sender identifier. When two independent messages share the same message_id (which can occur legitimately across different conversations or even within different sender contexts), the deduplication cache treats them as identical events. The pre-fix implementation likely constructed the key as a simple hash or string of only msg_id (e.g., 'zalo:webhook:{msg_id}') rather than a composite key including chat_id and sender_id (e.g., 'zalo:webhook:{chat_id}:{sender_id}:{msg_id}').",
"impact": "Legitimate messages are silently dropped when message IDs collide across different contexts. This can cause significant message loss in high-volume environments where message IDs may be recycled or where the same message ID is legitimately used in different conversations. Users will experience missing messages without any error indication, making this difficult to detect and debug.",
"attackPath": "1. Attacker identifies that message ID '12345' was recently processed in Chat A from Sender X. 2. Attacker sends a legitimate message with ID '12345' in Chat B (or as Sender Y) to the webhook endpoint. 3. The webhook handler computes dedupe key based only on message ID '12345'. 4. The cache identifies this as a duplicate of the earlier message from Chat A. 5. The legitimate message from Chat B is discarded as a 'replay' despite being a distinct event.",
"stepsToReproduce": [
"Set up a Zalo webhook integration that processes messages from multiple chats or multiple senders",
"Send a message via Zalo webhook with message_id 'MSG001' in Chat A from Sender X",
"Verify the message is processed normally",
"Send a different message via Zalo webhook with the same message_id 'MS
