GHSA-2858-XG23-26FP

OpenClaw accepted camera.snap / camera.clip node payload url fields and downloaded them on the gateway/agent host without binding downloads to the resolved node host.

In OpenClaw's documented trust model, paired nodes are in the same operator trust boundary, so this is scoped as medium-severity hardening. A malicious or compromised paired node could still steer gateway-host fetches during camera URL retrieval.

Affected Packages / Versions

• Package: openclaw (npm)
• Affected versions: >= 2026.2.13 <= 2026.3.1
• Latest vulnerable published version at time of update: 2026.3.1
• Patched versions: >= 2026.3.2 (released)

Technical Details

Vulnerable flows accepted URL payloads and downloaded directly from the provided URL:

• src/cli/nodes-camera.ts (writeUrlToFile) fetched URL payloads without node-host binding.
• src/cli/nodes-cli/register.camera.ts passed camera.snap / camera.clip payload URLs into that downloader.
• src/agents/tools/nodes-tool.ts did the same for camera_snap / camera_clip tool actions.

A malicious/compromised paired node could cause gateway-host URL fetches to off-node destinations reachable from the host network. This could be used for internal network probing/fetch pivots in deployments where paired nodes are not fully trusted.

Untrusted input controls the target URL of a server-initiated request, which may reach internal services not otherwise accessible from outside. Typical impact: access to internal metadata services, internal APIs, or cloud credentials.

GHSA-2858-XG23-26FP has a CVSS score of 5.5 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, low privileges required, and user interaction required. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (2026.3.2); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Kodem intelligence

The fix introduces fail-closed node-host binding and guarded fetch for camera URL payload downloads:

• Require resolved node host metadata for URL payload downloads.
• Enforce hostname match between payload URL and resolved node host.
• Use SSRF-guarded fetch with redirect host/protocol checks.
• Apply the same enforcement across CLI and agent tool camera paths.

1. What is GHSA-2858-XG23-26FP? GHSA-2858-XG23-26FP is a medium-severity server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in openclaw (npm), affecting versions >= 2026.2.13, <= 2026.3.1. It is fixed in 2026.3.2. Untrusted input controls the target URL of a server-initiated request, which may reach internal services not otherwise accessible from outside.
2. How severe is GHSA-2858-XG23-26FP? GHSA-2858-XG23-26FP has a CVSS score of 5.5 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
3. Which versions of openclaw are affected by GHSA-2858-XG23-26FP? openclaw (npm) versions >= 2026.2.13, <= 2026.3.1 is affected.
4. Is there a fix for GHSA-2858-XG23-26FP? Yes. GHSA-2858-XG23-26FP is fixed in 2026.3.2. Upgrade to this version or later.
5. Is GHSA-2858-XG23-26FP exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-2858-XG23-26FP is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

6. What actually determines whether GHSA-2858-XG23-26FP is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
7. How do I fix GHSA-2858-XG23-26FP? Upgrade openclaw to 2026.3.2 or later.
