Summary
OpenClaw: Browser CDP profile creation skipped strict-mode SSRF checks
Details

Affected Packages / Versions

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

Impact

Browser profile creation normalized cdpUrl values before persisting them, but did not apply the configured browser SSRF policy at creation time. In deployments that explicitly disabled private-network CDP targets, a stored profile could still point at a private-network or metadata endpoint and later be probed by normal profile status flows.

Default trusted-operator browser behavior allows private-network CDP endpoints, so this only affected strict-mode deployments. Severity is low.

Fix

OpenClaw now checks CDP endpoints against the browser SSRF policy during profile creation and reachability operations.

Fix commits:

  • 1fd049e3074cac72f6734a7fe88468c84f5f8bd7
  • e90c89cf8b1459f2aa1f3a665be67392b6c03fdf

Release

Fixed in OpenClaw 2026.4.20.

Severity
2.3 (Low)
