Technical Details

NVD Description

## Summary CDP /json/version WebSocket URL could pivot to untrusted second-hop targets. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` - Ecosystem: npm - Affected versions: `< 2026.4.5` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.4.5` ## Impact A browser profile could trust a CDP `/json/version` response whose `webSocketDebuggerUrl` pointed at a different host, enabling a second-hop SSRF-style pivot. ## Technical Details The fix normalizes and re-validates direct CDP WebSocket targets before connecting. ## Fix The issue was fixed in #60469. The first stable tag containing the fix is `v2026.4.5`, and `openclaw@2026.4.14` includes the fix. ## Fix Commit(s) - `bc356cc8c2beaa747c71dd86cceab8f804699665` - PR: #60469 ## Release Process Note Users should upgrade to `openclaw` 2026.4.5 or newer. The latest npm release, `2026.4.14`, already includes the fix. ## Credits Thanks to @tdjackey for reporting this issue.
