Overview

openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure via the MCP Streamable HTTP process when custom headers are configured and the MCP endpoint responds with a cross-origin redirect. An attacker can obtain sensitive information, such as API keys or tenant-routing headers, by leveraging a malicious or compromised MCP endpoint that issues redirects to another origin. This is only exploitable if the MCP server is configured with transportType: "streamable-http", sensitive custom headers under mcp.servers.*.headers, and the MCP endpoint is malicious, compromised, or able to redirect to another origin.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by avoiding the use of custom MCP headers with servers that are not fully trusted and rotating any MCP-specific credentials that may have been exposed by a redirecting endpoint.
