AI-suggested
A fix is available in OpenClaw version 2026.4.20. Users should upgrade to this version or later to remediate the SSRF vulnerability. No additional mitigation steps are indicated in the provided data.
Description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.4.20 contain a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the browser CDP profile creation process. This flaw allows attackers to create stored profiles that bypass strict-mode SSRF policy checks, enabling requests to private network or metadata endpoints. These malicious profiles are later accessed during normal profile status operations, potentially allowing unauthorized internal network probing.
