Technical Analysis
The OpenClaw CLI package (npm) versions from 2026.1.29 up to but not including 2026.3.31 allow media downloads to follow cross-origin redirects with Authorization headers intact. This results in a credential leak risk as sensitive authorization tokens may be sent to unintended origins. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-41345 and was patched in version 2026.3.31. The fix was committed on 2026-03-31. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, partial attack traceability, no privileges required, user interaction required, high impact on confidentiality, and no impact on integrity or availability.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows Authorization headers to be forwarded during cross-origin redirects in media downloads, potentially exposing sensitive credentials to unauthorized third-party domains. This can lead to unauthorized access or credential leakage. The severity is medium, reflecting a real risk but not critical impact or widespread exploitation.
Mitigation Recommendations
A patch is available and should be applied by upgrading OpenClaw CLI to version 2026.3.31 or later. Users should update to this fixed version to prevent credential leakage via cross-origin redirects.
