CVE-2026-6011: Server-Side Request Forgery in OpenClaw
A weakness has been identified in OpenClaw up to 2026.1.26. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file src/agents/tools/web-fetch.ts of the component assertPublicHostname Handler. Executing a manipulation can lead to server-side request forgery. The attack can be executed remotely. This attack is characterized by high complexity. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. Upgrading to version 2026.1.29 can resolve this issue. This patch is called b623557a2ec7e271bda003eb3ac33fbb2e218505. Upgrading the affected component is advised.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in OpenClaw involves a server-side request forgery in the assertPublicHostname handler of the web-fetch tool component. Attackers can manipulate the vulnerable functionality to cause the server to make unintended requests. The vulnerability affects all versions from 2026.1.0 through 2026.1.26. The complexity of exploitation is high, and no privileges or user interaction are required. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.3 (medium severity). A patch is available in version 2026.1.29, identified by commit b623557a2ec7e271bda003eb3ac33fbb2e218505.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to induce the server to make arbitrary requests, potentially accessing internal resources or services not directly accessible to the attacker. However, the attack complexity is high, and no known exploits are reported in the wild at this time. The vulnerability does not require privileges or user interaction, but the impact is limited by the difficulty of exploitation and the low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts indicated by the CVSS vector.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available by upgrading OpenClaw to version 2026.1.29, which includes the patch identified by commit b623557a2ec7e271bda003eb3ac33fbb2e218505. It is strongly recommended to apply this upgrade to remediate the vulnerability. No other vendor advisory or temporary mitigations are provided. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor's versioning information.
