GHSA-2858-XG23-26FP
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-03 21:18 – Updated: 2026-03-03 21:18Summary
OpenClaw accepted camera.snap / camera.clip node payload url fields and downloaded them on the gateway/agent host without binding downloads to the resolved node host.
In OpenClaw's documented trust model, paired nodes are in the same operator trust boundary, so this is scoped as medium-severity hardening. A malicious or compromised paired node could still steer gateway-host fetches during camera URL retrieval.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected versions:
>= 2026.2.13 <= 2026.3.1 - Latest vulnerable published version at time of update:
2026.3.1 - Patched versions:
>= 2026.3.2(released)
Technical Details
Vulnerable flows accepted URL payloads and downloaded directly from the provided URL:
- src/cli/nodes-camera.ts (writeUrlToFile) fetched URL payloads without node-host binding.
- src/cli/nodes-cli/register.camera.ts passed camera.snap / camera.clip payload URLs into that downloader.
- src/agents/tools/nodes-tool.ts did the same for camera_snap / camera_clip tool actions.
Impact
A malicious/compromised paired node could cause gateway-host URL fetches to off-node destinations reachable from the host network. This could be used for internal network probing/fetch pivots in deployments where paired nodes are not fully trusted.
Remediation
The fix introduces fail-closed node-host binding and guarded fetch for camera URL payload downloads: - Require resolved node host metadata for URL payload downloads. - Enforce hostname match between payload URL and resolved node host. - Use SSRF-guarded fetch with redirect host/protocol checks. - Apply the same enforcement across CLI and agent tool camera paths.
