OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 fail to validate video asset URLs returned by providers, allowing server-side requests to private destinations. A malicious or compromised provider can return private or loopback URLs to cause the CLI to make requests to internal services accessible from the OpenClaw host.
Weakness
The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination.
