AI-suggested
A fixed version 2026.4.8 or later is implied but not explicitly confirmed in the input data. If you cannot patch yet, restrict access to the vulnerable OpenClaw versions and monitor for suspicious SSRF activity.
Description
OpenClaw before version 2026.4.8 has a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in its Playwright redirect handling. This flaw allows attackers to bypass strict SSRF protections and perform request-time navigation to access private targets that should be restricted by browser SSRF defenses.
