CVE-2026-28468

Ein Angreifer kann diese Schwachstellen in OpenClaw ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen, sich erhöhte Berechtigungen zu verschaffen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Daten zu manipulieren, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand herbeizuführen, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen oder andere, nicht näher bezeichnete Angriffe durchzuführen.

## Summary openclaw could start the sandbox browser bridge server without authentication. When the sandboxed browser is enabled, openclaw runs a local (loopback) HTTP bridge that exposes browser control endpoints (for example `/profiles`, `/tabs`, `/tabs/open`, `/agent/*`). Due to missing auth wiring in the sandbox initialization path, that bridge server accepted requests without requiring gateway auth. ## Impact A local attacker (any process on the same machine) could access the bridge server port and: - enumerate open tabs and retrieve CDP WebSocket URLs - open/close/navigate tabs - execute JavaScript in page contexts via CDP - exfiltrate cookies/session data and page contents from authenticated sessions This is a localhost-only exposure (CVSS AV:L), but provides full browser-session compromise for sandboxed browser usage. ## Affected Versions - Introduced in: `2026.1.29-beta.1` (first npm release that shipped the sandbox browser bridge) - Affected range: `>=2026.1.29-beta.1 <2026.2.14` ## Patched Versions - `2026.2.14` ## Mitigation - Upgrade to `2026.2.14` (recommended). - Or disable the sandboxed browser (`agents.defaults.sandbox.browser.enabled=false`). ## Fix Details - The sandbox browser bridge server now always requires auth and enforces the same gateway browser control auth (token/password) that loopback browser clients already use. - Additional hardening: bridge server refuses non-loopback binds; local helper servers are bound to loopback. - Added regression tests (including unit coverage for per-port bridge auth fallback).
