Openclaw cli: OpenClaw has Browser SSRF Policy Bypass via Interaction-Triggered Navigation (CVE-2026-41912)
Description
OpenClaw CLI versions up to 2026.4.7 contain a vulnerability that allows browser SSRF policy bypass via interaction-triggered navigation. This means that certain user interactions can cause navigations that circumvent the normal server-side request forgery (SSRF) navigation checks. The issue is specific to the OpenClaw trust model and does not assume multi-tenant service boundaries. The vulnerability has been fixed in version 2026.4.8.
