Overview

openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Reliance on IP Address for Authentication in the authorizeCanvasRequest process. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to canvas endpoints and sensitive interface content by sending HTTP requests from the same private IP address as an authenticated WebSocket client, such as in environments with NAT, VPNs, or shared container networks. This is only exploitable if multiple clients share a single private IP address, allowing an unauthenticated client to inherit the authenticated state of another client.
