Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
OpenClaw versions before 2026.6.6 contain a network policy bypass vulnerability in the sandbox exec-server that allows lower-trust callers to reach internal network destinations blocked by OpenClaw policy. Attackers can send HTTP requests through the exec-server to access network resources that should have been restricted by configured policies.
AnalysisAI
Network policy bypass via Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in OpenClaw's sandbox exec-server allows lower-trust callers to route HTTP requests to internal network destinations that OpenClaw policy is explicitly configured to block. All OpenClaw installations before version 2026.6.6 are affected. The CVSS 4.0 vector scores subsequent-system confidentiality impact as High (SC:H), reflecting that successfully bypassed network policies expose internal infrastructure - not the OpenClaw host itself - to unauthorized access. No public exploit code has been identified and this CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
OpenClaw's exec-server provides a sandboxed execution environment with network policy controls intended to restrict which internal network destinations callers of varying trust levels can reach. CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery) describes the root cause: the exec-server acts as a network intermediary and fails to sufficiently validate or enforce policy checks on outbound HTTP requests initiated by lower-trust principals, allowing those requests to be forwarded to blocked internal endpoints. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:openclaw:openclaw:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all versions prior to 2026.6.6. The CVSS 4.0 AT:P metric (Attack Requirements: Present) indicates that specific preconditions - specifically operating within the sandbox exec-server context as a lower-trust caller - must exist for exploitation.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.6.6 or later, which is the vendor-released patch confirmed by the GitHub security advisory at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-mgvr-6gvw-3rgr. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, compensating controls should focus on restricting who can interact with the exec-server as a lower-trust caller - for example, tightening authentication requirements or ACLs on the exec-server endpoint to prevent untrusted principals from submitting requests. Additionally, deploying network-layer egress controls (firewall rules, service mesh policies) at the infrastructure level for the internal destinations that should be blocked provides defense-in-depth independent of OpenClaw's policy enforcement, though this does not remediate the underlying bypass and may not cover all intended policy destinations. Note that infrastructure-level rules add operational overhead and may conflict with legitimate exec-server workloads.
