Summary

CVE-2026-28451 is a medium-severity SSRF (CWE-918) vulnerability in Openclaw Openclaw. Its CVSS base score is 6.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 20th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as AI Agent Protocols and Integrations; in the LLM/Generative AI Risks risk domain.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2026-28451 is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability affecting OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.14, specifically in the Feishu extension. The flaw arises in the sendMediaFeishu function and markdown image processing, which lack SSRF protections and allow attackers to fetch arbitrary attacker-controlled remote URLs. Assigned CWE-918, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L) and was published on 2026-03-05.

Remote attackers require no privileges or user interaction to exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity. Exploitation occurs via direct manipulation of tool calls or prompt injection, enabling attackers to trigger requests to internal services and re-upload the responses as Feishu media. This can lead to unauthorized access to internal resources, with low impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability but elevated severity due to the changed scope.

Mitigation details are outlined in official advisories, including a patch in OpenClaw commit 5b4121d6011a48c71e747e3c18197f180b872c5d. Security practitioners should update to OpenClaw version 2026.2.14 or later, as recommended by the GitHub security advisory (GHSA-x22m-j5qq-j49m) and VulnCheck advisory on the Feishu extension SSRF issue.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Information flow enforcement can restrict which destinations the server is allowed to contact on behalf of users.

Input validation directly stops untrusted URLs from being accepted and fetched without destination checks.

Boundary protection limits the network reach of server-initiated requests even if SSRF occurs.
