Openclaw cli: OpenClaw: Telegram bot token exposure via logs (CVE-2026-27003)
Description
OpenClaw CLI versions up to 2026.2.14 log Telegram bot tokens in error messages and stack traces without redaction, potentially exposing these tokens in logs, crash reports, CI outputs, or support bundles. This exposure allows attackers to impersonate the bot and gain unauthorized Bot API access. The issue is fixed in version 2026.2.15. Users should upgrade to this version and rotate any potentially exposed Telegram bot tokens.

Technical Analysis
OpenClaw CLI versions <= 2026.2.14 log Telegram bot tokens in error messages and stack traces, including request URLs containing the token. This logging occurs without redaction, risking token exposure in various outputs such as logs and crash reports. Disclosure of the Telegram bot token enables attackers to impersonate the bot and take over Bot API access. The vulnerability is addressed in OpenClaw CLI version >= 2026.2.15.
Potential Impact
Exposure of Telegram bot tokens can lead to unauthorized access and control over the bot via the Bot API, allowing attackers to impersonate the bot. This compromises the confidentiality and integrity of the bot's operations.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade OpenClaw CLI to version 2026.2.15 or later when available. Additionally, rotate any Telegram bot tokens that may have been exposed to prevent unauthorized access.
