Token theft via reflected PKCE verifier
Published Apr 3, 2026 · Updated Apr 3, 2026
OAuth credential exposure in OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 allows attackers to redeem Gemini access tokens from captured redirect URLs. The Gemini OAuth URL builder assigns the secret PKCE verifier to the reflected state parameter, placing it beside the authorization code in the callback URL. Exploitation requires a user to complete the OAuth flow and an attacker to capture that redirect URL; the resulting token grants the associated Gemini access.
