CVE-2026-44117 — OpenClaw < 2026.4.20 - Server-Side Request Forgery in QQBot Direct Media Upload

Affected: OpenClaw

OpenClaw before 2026.4.20 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in QQBot direct media upload that skips URL validation. Attackers can bypass SSRF protections by sending crafted image URLs to uploadC2CMedia and uploadGroupMedia endpoints to relay unintended requests.

GHSA-c4qg-j8jg-42q5 — OpenClaw: QQBot direct media upload skipped URL SSRF validation

Affected: npm: openclaw

## Affected Packages / Versions

- Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `< 2026.4.20` - Patched version: `2026.4.20`

## Impact

The QQBot direct-upload media path could forward attacker-controlled image URLs without applying the SSRF validation used by the local download path. This could make configured QQBot media delivery request or relay URLs the operator did not intend to allow.

The affected path is limited to QQBot outbound media handling and does not expose arbitrary local files. Severity is low.

## Fix

OpenClaw now validates QQBot direct-upload media URLs before `uploadC2CMedia` and `uploadGroupMedia` direct-upload calls.

Fix commit:

- `49db424c8001f2f419aad85f434894d8d85c1a09`

## Release

Fixed in OpenClaw `2026.4.20`.
