CVE-2026-42436 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.4.14 contains an improper access control vulnerability in browser snapshot, screenshot, and tab routes that fail to consistently validate the final browser target after navigation. Authenticated callers can bypass SSRF restrictions to expose internal or disallowed page content by exploiting route-driven navigation without proper policy re-validation.
An improper access control vulnerability has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.4.14. This vulnerability exists in the browser snapshot, screenshot, and tab routes, which do not consistently validate the final browser target after navigation. As a result, authenticated users can bypass server-side request forgery (SSRF) restrictions and access internal or disallowed page content by exploiting the navigation flow without proper policy re-validation.
Users are advised to upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.4.14 or later, as this version includes the necessary fix. The latest npm release, 2026.4.14, already contains this update.
