DescriptionCVE.org

OpenClaw before 2026.4.10 contains an incomplete navigation guard vulnerability that allows attackers to trigger navigation without complete SSRF policy enforcement. Browser press/type style interactions, including pressKey and type submit flows, can bypass post-action security checks to execute unauthorized navigation.

AnalysisAI

OpenClaw before version 2026.4.10 allows authenticated attackers to bypass Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) policy enforcement through incomplete navigation guard coverage in browser press and type interactions. Attackers can trigger unauthorized navigation actions, including pressKey and type-submit flows, that skip post-action security checks, potentially enabling SSRF attacks against restricted endpoints.

Technical ContextAI

OpenClaw is a browser automation and testing framework that implements SSRF guards to prevent unauthorized navigation to restricted network resources. The vulnerability exists in the browser interaction layer (pw-tools-core.interactions.js and related modules) where pressKey and type submission interactions were not subject to the same three-phase navigation guard checks applied to other interaction types like click. The root cause is an incomplete authorization check (CWE-862) where certain interaction handlers failed to invoke assertPageNavigationCompletedSafely with the current SSRF policy before allowing navigation. The fix (commits 049acf23, 5f5b3d73, e0b8ddc1) retrofits these missing interactions with the same post-action security validation applied to click-triggered navigations, ensuring all browser interaction routes enforce SSRF policy constraints.

RemediationAI

Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.4.10 or later immediately. The npm registry contains patched versions 2026.4.10 through 2026.4.14, all of which include fixes from commits 049acf23cb03e1b92f5c71cd99c6ec5f35cc56fe, 5f5b3d733bdd791cb457f838514179e1288b10b3, and e0b8ddc1a55185aff1cf9e0e095014d2e4f1d894 (addressing PRs #62023, #63226, #63889). For environments unable to upgrade immediately, implement explicit SSRF policy validation in wrapper code around press and type interactions by ensuring ssrfPolicy parameters are always provided and post-action page URL validation is enforced via external security middleware. Review OpenClaw deployment contexts to identify what private network resources are accessible; if SSRF is not a threat model (e.g., OpenClaw runs in isolated environments with no access to internal APIs), the practical risk is reduced.
