Lifecycle Timeline
4Description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 inject the x-OpenClaw-relay-token header into Chrome CDP probe traffic on loopback interfaces, allowing local processes to capture the Gateway authentication token. An attacker controlling a loopback port can intercept CDP reachability probes to the /json/version endpoint and reuse the leaked token as Gateway bearer authentication.
Analysis
OpenClaw Gateway versions prior to 2026.2.22 leak authentication tokens through Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) probe traffic on loopback interfaces, allowing local attackers to intercept the x-OpenClaw-relay-token header and reuse it for unauthorized Gateway access. An attacker with local network access or control of a loopback port can capture reachability probes to the /json/version endpoint and escalate privileges by replaying the stolen token as bearer authentication. …
