Authenticated SSRF via unrestricted Gateway URL override
Published Feb 19, 2026 · Updated Feb 19, 2026
SSRF in OpenClaw before 2026.2.14 allows remote authenticated users to make the Gateway connect to user-selected WebSocket targets. Tool-call paths pass an unvalidated gatewayUrl override to the Gateway WebSocket client without restricting its protocol or destination. Access to an override-capable tool call is required; observable results permit internal reachability probing and interaction with reachable WebSocket services.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
