Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation targets the reverse-proxy 'handleRequest' function in apps/clawhostgo/src/main/services/reverseProxy.ts, where an attacker-supplied 'token' argument is used to construct a redirect destination without adequate validation. No authentication is required (PR:N), but the attack is NOT fully automatic: it depends on social engineering - a victim must follow the attacker-crafted link (UI:P), so success hinges on luring a user rather than on any special server configuration. Impact is limited to redirecting the victim's browser (integrity-only, no confidentiality or availability effect), meaning the practical risk is phishing/credential-harvesting, and it is bounded to deployments actually running the vulnerable reverse-proxy component of clawhost at version 0.0.45 or earlier.

Impact

Signals are consistent and point to a genuine-but-low-severity issue rather than an urgent priority. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:P) describes a remotely reachable, unauthenticated, low-complexity flaw, but it requires passive user interaction (UI:P) and yields only low integrity impact (VI:L) with no confidentiality or availability impact - fully consistent with an open redirect (CWE-601), which is typically leveraged for phishing/credential-harvesting rather than direct system compromise. The input Exploit Maturity is E:P (Proof-of-Concept) and a POC is publicly hosted, so public exploit code exists; however, the vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV and no EPSS score was provided in the input, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation. The low technical impact, the dependence on tricking a victim into following a link, and the obscurity of the affected product all argue against treating this as a high-priority item despite the 'public exploit' flag. Net: a real but minor, low-urgency finding - patch in routine cycles, not an emergency.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker crafts a URL to a clawhost reverse-proxy endpoint with a manipulated 'token' argument that controls the redirect target, then distributes it via phishing email or a malicious link. When a victim clicks it, the handleRequest function in reverseProxy.ts redirects their browser to an attacker-controlled site that can harvest credentials or deliver malware. A proof-of-concept is publicly available, lowering the barrier to abuse.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 19, 2026

Open redirect in antoinersx clawhost through version 0.0.45 allows remote attackers to craft reverse-proxy URLs that send victims to attacker-controlled sites by manipulating the token argument handled in reverseProxy.ts. Exploitation requires user interaction - a victim must follow the crafted link - and impact is limited to integrity (phishing/credential-harvesting), consistent with CVSS 5.3 v4.0 and an assessed CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3. Publicly available exploit code exists, but there is no confirmed active exploitation (not CISA KEV).

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch is identified at time of analysis; the vendor was contacted early but did not respond, and no fixed version is documented in the references. Until a fix is available, operators should modify the handleRequest logic in apps/clawhostgo/src/main/services/reverseProxy.ts to enforce a strict allowlist of redirect destinations - rejecting absolute or external token values and permitting only relative paths or known first-party hosts - accepting that legitimate external redirects may break. If the reverse-proxy feature is not required, disable or stop exposing that component, with the trade-off of losing its functionality. As a supplementary control, present an interstitial warning before outbound redirects; this adds friction and may be bypassed by users who click through. Because exploitation depends on luring a victim, combine these controls with phishing-resistant authentication and user reporting workflows.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The issue is CWE-601 (URL Redirection to Untrusted Site, or Open Redirect) in the reverse-proxy service implemented at apps/clawhostgo/src/main/services/reverseProxy.ts. In the handleRequest function, an attacker-controlled token argument is used to build a redirect destination without adequate validation, so a crafted request can cause the application to redirect the victim's browser to an arbitrary external site. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:antoinersx:clawhost:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies antoinersx clawhost as the affected product line, and the report bounds affected versions to 0.0.45 and earlier. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/E:P) and the assessed CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) both indicate no authentication requirement (PR:N) but a user-interaction prerequisite (UI:P/UI:R), with only integrity impact and no confidentiality or availability effect. The practical risk is therefore phishing and credential harvesting through trusted-looking clawhost redirect links, not code execution or data compromise.
