Openclaw cli: OpenClaw Telegram media fetch errors exposed bot tokens in logged file URLs (CVE-2026-32982)
Description
OpenClaw CLI versions up to 2026.3.12 could leak Telegram bot tokens in error messages when media fetches failed. This occurs because error strings included raw Telegram file URLs containing bot tokens. The issue was fixed in version 2026.3.13 by redacting sensitive tokens from error messages.

Technical Analysis
The vulnerability in openclaw CLI (<= 2026.3.12) involves the exposure of Telegram bot tokens in error messages generated during failed media fetch operations. Specifically, the fetchRemoteMedia() function embedded Telegram file URLs, which contain bot tokens, into MediaFetchError messages. These tokens could then be exposed in logs, console outputs, or any downstream error handling that rendered these messages. The fix in version 2026.3.13 introduces redaction of sensitive tokens from these URLs before constructing error messages, preventing token leakage.
Potential Impact
Telegram bot tokens used by OpenClaw integrations could be exposed in logs or error outputs, potentially allowing unauthorized access to the bot if logs or error messages are accessible. This exposure is limited to OpenClaw-operated credentials and does not involve user-supplied secrets.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in openclaw version 2026.3.13 which redacts Telegram bot tokens from media fetch error messages. Users should upgrade to this version or later to prevent token leakage. No additional mitigation is required as the issue is resolved by the official patch.
