### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-rggc-m335-3wvj. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ### Original Description OpenClaw before 2026.5.18 contains an identity header validation vulnerability allowing local same-host callers to forge trusted-proxy identity headers.
