Vulnerability Data

OpenClaw before 2026.5.2 contains a credential exposure vulnerability in message.action forwarding that allows model-controlled metadata to forward action payloads with Gateway credentials to attacker-supplied loopback URLs. Remote attackers can intercept Gateway tokens and action payloads by providing malicious loopback targets…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement good match

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

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

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

SC-7 Boundary Protection partial match

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

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

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.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
blocks

Secure development practices directly include input validation and destination allow-listing that prevent SSRF.

DE.CM-09 partial match
blocks

Runtime monitoring of web applications and services can detect anomalous outbound requests indicative of SSRF.

ID.RA-01 partial match
blocks

Vulnerability identification processes can discover and record SSRF flaws in web applications.

PR.IR-01 partial match
blocks

Network segmentation and egress controls can limit the damage from successful SSRF requests.
