CVE-2026-53840 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.5.12 contains an information disclosure vulnerability in streamable-http MCP servers that forwards operator-configured custom headers during cross-origin redirects. Attackers controlling or compromising an MCP endpoint can redirect requests to exfiltrate sensitive headers like API keys or tenant-routing credentials to attacker-controlled origins.
A vulnerability allowing information disclosure has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.5.12. This issue arises in streamable-http MCP servers that forward custom headers configured by the operator during cross-origin redirects. Attackers with control over an MCP endpoint can redirect requests to extract sensitive headers, such as API keys or tenant-routing credentials, to an origin under their control.
Users are advised to upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.5.12 or later. Before upgrading, it is recommended to avoid using custom MCP headers with untrusted servers and to rotate any MCP-specific credentials that may have been exposed through a redirecting endpoint.
