Upgrade openclaw to version 2026.8.1 or higher.
Overview
openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File via the OpenAI-compatible transport layer, when a pinned third-party provider session whose resolved model metadata lacks a concrete base URL continues after a model configuration hot reload. Under this condition, the session retains the third-party provider's credential while the OpenAI SDK falls back to its own default endpoint, causing a request to be sent to an unrelated provider endpoint carrying that credential. The disclosure results in a failed request with a misleading authentication error, and the exposed credential should be rotated.
Note: This is only exploitable when a third-party provider uses an OpenAI-compatible API, the resolved model metadata lacks an explicit provider base URL, and an existing pinned session continues after model configuration is reloaded.
Workaround
Before upgrading, configure explicit base URLs for all third-party OpenAI-compatible providers and avoid continuing pinned sessions after changing model defaults.
