Summary
OpenClaw's Chrome extension relay binds publicly due to wildcard treated as loopback
Details

Summary

The Chrome extension relay (ensureChromeExtensionRelayServer) previously treated wildcard hosts (0.0.0.0 / ::) as loopback, which could make it bind the relay HTTP/WS server to all interfaces when a wildcard cdpUrl was passed.

Impact

If configured with a wildcard cdpUrl, relay HTTP endpoints could become reachable off-host, leaking service presence/port and enabling DoS/brute-force traffic against the relay token header.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected: >= 2026.1.14-1 < 2026.2.12

Fixed Versions

Fix Commit(s)

  • 8d75a496bf5aaab1755c56cf48502d967c75a1d0

Notes
