GHSA-8CP7-RP8R-MG77
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-04 18:55 – Updated: 2026-03-04 18:55Summary
OpenClaw's SSRF hostname/IP guard did not detect ISATAP embedded IPv4 addresses (...:5efe:w.x.y.z). A crafted URL containing an ISATAP IPv6 literal could embed a private IPv4 target (for example loopback) and bypass private-address filtering in URL-fetching paths.
Severity Assessment
Rated medium: the bug weakens SSRF protections in URL fetch flows, but impact depends on reaching a URL-fetching path with attacker-controlled input and is generally constrained to internal network access attempts.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected:
>=2026.1.20 <=2026.2.17 - Latest published at patch time:
2026.2.17 - Patched release:
2026.2.19
Security Policy Context
Per SECURITY.md, OpenClaw's web/gateway surface is intended for local use by default, public internet exposure is out-of-scope, and prompt-injection reports are out-of-scope for bounty handling. This advisory tracks a core SSRF-guard bypass in fetch protections.
Impact
This can permit SSRF-style access attempts to internal/private network targets through URL ingestion/fetch paths that rely on shared hostname/IP blocking.
Fix
- Added RFC 5214 ISATAP embedded-IPv4 detection to the shared SSRF classifier.
- Centralized hostname/IP blocking through
isBlockedHostnameOrIpand routed relevant validators to that shared path. - Added regression tests for ISATAP private vs public embedded IPv4 handling.
