Overview
openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Credential Exposure in the form of gateway query parameter hook tokens being sent in websocket responses. An attacker who convinces a user to follow a link with a malicious gatewayUrl URL can extract the token, connect to the victim's local gateway, and perform arbitrary actions including code execution. The availability of the token to the attacker is due to the application's behavior of automatically connecting when provided a gateway URL.
Note: Instances configured to listen on loopback only are also vulnerable, because the victim's browser initiates the outbound connection.
