Summary
OpenClaw: Telegram bot token exposure via logs
Details

Vulnerability

Telegram bot tokens can appear in error messages and stack traces (for example, when request URLs include https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/...). OpenClaw previously logged these strings without redaction, which could leak the bot token into logs, crash reports, CI output, or support bundles.

Impact

Disclosure of a Telegram bot token allows an attacker to impersonate the bot and take over Bot API access.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected: <= 2026.2.14
  • Fixed: >= 2026.2.15 (next release)

Mitigation

  • Upgrade to openclaw >= 2026.2.15 when released.
  • Rotate the Telegram bot token if it may have been exposed.

Fix Commit(s)

  • cf6990701b258bb9cc4ac7f6c7bdf05016e7f6e46
