Server-Side Request Forgery in OpenClaw Before 2026.8.1

Publication date: 2026-09-26

Last updated on: 2026-09-26

Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 fail to validate video asset URLs returned by providers, allowing server-side requests to private destinations. A malicious or compromised provider can return private or loopback URLs to cause the CLI to make requests to internal services accessible from the OpenClaw host.

Executive Summary

This is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1. It occurs because the software fails to validate video asset URLs from providers, allowing malicious or compromised providers to return private or loopback URLs. This causes the OpenClaw host to make unauthorized requests to internal services.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, monitor network traffic for unexpected outbound requests to private or loopback IP addresses from the OpenClaw host. Check OpenClaw logs for video asset URL processing failures or unusual requests. Use tools like tcpdump or Wireshark to capture and analyze network traffic for SSRF indicators.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to access internal services on the OpenClaw host that should not be publicly accessible. The impact depends on which services are reachable from the host. Sensitive data or functionality could be exposed if internal services are compromised.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, potentially violating GDPR (data protection) or HIPAA (health information privacy) requirements. Organizations must ensure proper access controls to avoid compliance breaches.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.8.1 or later. Disable video generation from untrusted providers until patched. Implement network segmentation to restrict OpenClaw host access to internal services. Review and restrict outbound network access from the OpenClaw host.
