CVE-2026-25253 Details
Description
OpenClaw (aka clawdbot or Moltbot) before 2026.1.29 obtains a gatewayUrl value from a query string and automatically makes a WebSocket connection without prompting, sending a token value.
A vulnerability in OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot) versions prior to 2026.1.29 allows for unauthorized WebSocket connections that exfiltrate authentication tokens, leading to remote code execution. The issue arises because the application automatically connects to a specified gateway URL from the query string without validation, sending the auth token in the process. This vulnerability can be exploited even on local instances of OpenClaw.
Users are advised to upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.1.29 or later and rotate their authentication tokens if they suspect a leak.
