AI-suggested
Since the vulnerability is in versions before 2026.4.22, users should upgrade to version 2026.4.22 or later once available. Until then, restrict access to the Zalo Bot API and monitor for suspicious requests involving photo URLs. Review and enhance SSRF protections in the sendPhoto function to properly validate outbound URLs.
Description
OpenClaw versions before 2026.4.22 have a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the Zalo plugin's sendPhoto function. The vulnerability arises because the function does not properly validate outbound photo URLs against the SSRF guard. This allows attackers to bypass SSRF protections by submitting malicious photo URLs to the Zalo Bot API, potentially enabling unauthorized access to internal network resources.
