CVE-2026-41302 is a medium-severity SSRF (CWE-918) vulnerability in Openclaw Openclaw. Its CVSS base score is 4.8 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 13th 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-2026-41302 is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability, tracked under CWE-918, affecting OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.31. The flaw exists in the marketplace plugin's download functionality, where unguarded fetch() calls allow remote attackers to initiate arbitrary network requests from the server.
The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.6 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N). Attackers with low privileges (PR:L) can exploit it over the network with low complexity by tricking a user into interacting with the download feature (UI:R). Successful exploitation enables arbitrary requests that access internal resources or interact with external services on behalf of the affected OpenClaw system, resulting in high confidentiality impact across a changed scope.
Mitigation is addressed in OpenClaw 2026.3.31 via a patch commit (8deb9522f3d2680820588b190adb4a2a52f3670b). Relevant advisories include the GitHub security notice (GHSA-9q7v-8mr7-g23p) and VulnCheck's analysis, which recommend upgrading to the fixed version to prevent exploitation.

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.

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.
