CVE-2026-53840

Ein entfernter, authentisierter Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in OpenClaw ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsmechanismen zu umgehen, erhöhte Berechtigungen zu erlangen, Informationen offenzulegen, Konfigurationen zu manipulieren, beliebige Befehle oder Code auszuführen sowie interne Systeme über SSRF anzugreifen.

### Summary OpenClaw supports remote MCP Streamable HTTP servers with operator-configured custom headers. In affected releases, those headers could be forwarded when the MCP endpoint responded with a cross-origin redirect. This issue is limited to configured MCP Streamable HTTP servers that use custom headers. It does not expose unrelated OpenClaw credentials. ### Affected configurations This affects deployments where an MCP server is configured with: - `transportType: "streamable-http"` - sensitive custom headers under `mcp.servers.*.headers` - an MCP endpoint that is malicious, compromised, or able to redirect to another origin ### Impact Custom MCP headers, such as API keys or tenant-routing headers, could be sent to the redirect target. The exposed credential scope depends on the header the operator configured for that MCP server. ### Patched Versions The first stable patched version is `2026.5.12`. ### Mitigations Upgrade to `openclaw@2026.5.8` or later. Before upgrading, avoid custom MCP headers with servers you do not fully trust, and rotate any MCP-specific credentials that may have been exposed by a redirecting endpoint.
