OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 have a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the browser wait predicates feature. This flaw allows attackers with limited privileges to bypass SSRF protections and send requests to loopback or private network destinations by exploiting the wait --fn function against an existing browser session. The vulnerability does not affect availability but can impact confidentiality and integrity.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability (CVE-2026-100576) in OpenClaw affects versions prior to 2026.8.1 and involves a server-side request forgery in browser wait predicates. Attackers can use the wait --fn function on an existing browser session to send requests to internal or blocked destinations without the usual navigation checks that apply to other browser actions. This bypasses SSRF protections and could allow unauthorized access to internal network resources.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows attackers with limited privileges to bypass SSRF protections and reach internal or loopback destinations that are normally blocked. This can lead to unauthorized information disclosure or manipulation of internal services. The CVSS score of 5.4 reflects a medium severity impact with low complexity and no user interaction required. There is no impact on availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in OpenClaw version 2026.8.1. Users should upgrade to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability. Since this is a self-hosted product, administrators must apply the update manually. No other mitigation guidance is provided in the available data.
