Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026
OpenClaw prior to version 2026.2.14 fails to properly validate IPv6-formatted addresses in its SSRF protection, allowing attackers to bypass restrictions and access loopback and private network resources that should be blocked. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by crafting requests using IPv4-mapped IPv6 literals to reach restricted endpoints. The vulnerability has been patched in version 2026.2.14.
