Summary
CVE-2026-28476 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 15th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
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.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-28476 is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability, mapped to CWE-918, affecting OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.14. The flaw exists in the optional Tlon Urbit extension, which accepts user-provided base URLs for authentication without proper validation, published on 2026-03-05 with 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).
Attackers who can influence the configured Urbit URL can exploit this vulnerability to induce the OpenClaw gateway to issue HTTP requests to arbitrary hosts, including internal addresses. Exploitation requires no privileges or user interaction and can be performed over the network with low complexity, potentially enabling access to restricted resources through the gateway's requests.
Advisories recommend upgrading to OpenClaw version 2026.2.14 or later to mitigate the issue. Key references include the GitHub security advisory (GHSA-pg2v-8xwh-qhcc), the patching commit (bfa7d21e997baa8e3437657d59b1e296815cc1b1), and the VulnCheck advisory detailing the SSRF in the Tlon extension authentication.

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.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure development practices directly include input validation and destination allow-listing that prevent SSRF.
Runtime monitoring of web applications and services can detect anomalous outbound requests indicative of SSRF.
Vulnerability identification processes can discover and record SSRF flaws in web applications.
Network segmentation and egress controls can limit the damage from successful SSRF requests.
