How to fix?

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 Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) via the wait --fn function in browser wait predicates, which does not apply the same navigation checks enforced on other browser actions. An authenticated attacker can steer a browser-enabled agent with an existing open session to issue requests to loopback or private network destinations that OpenClaw's browser SSRF policy would otherwise block. This allows the attacker to bypass SSRF protections and reach internal services reachable from the browser context.

Note: This is only exploitable when lower-trust input can steer a browser-enabled agent and an existing browser session is available.

Workaround

Before upgrading, disable browser predicate evaluation for sessions exposed to lower-trust content.
