AI-suggested

Users should upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.4.14 or later, which includes the official fix. The fix disables private-network access by default in the SSRF policy, preserving strict configuration semantics. No additional mitigation is required once the upgrade is applied.

Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.4.14 had a browser SSRF policy that allowed private-network navigation by default. This behavior could expose internal services or metadata endpoints through browser-driven requests where stricter SSRF protections were expected. The issue was fixed in version 2026.4.14 by enforcing strict SSRF configuration semantics and disabling private-network access unless explicitly enabled.
