Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
OpenClaw before 2026.4.29 contains an SSRF policy bypass vulnerability in browser debug and export routes that allows reuse of already-open blocked tabs. Attackers with access to these routes can bypass private-network SSRF policies by reusing blocked tabs to export or inspect content that should remain protected.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

OpenClaw before 2026.4.29 has an SSRF policy bypass in its browser debug and export routes. Attackers with access to these routes can reuse already-open blocked tabs to bypass private-network SSRF protections, allowing them to export or inspect content that should be protected.

MitigationUpgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.4.29 or later. Additionally, restrict access to debug and export routes and implement stricter network segmentation to limit SSRF attack surface.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Determine installed OpenClaw version
    Locate the OpenClaw application and check its version information, typically available in the application binary, about dialog, or version file included with the installation
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 2026.4.29
  2. Identify if browser debug routes are exposed
    Review OpenClaw's web server or API configuration to determine if debug endpoints related to browser functionality are accessible or enabled
    Affected if Debug routes are enabled and accessible without additional restrictions
  3. Identify if export routes are exposed
    Review OpenClaw's web server or API configuration to determine if export endpoints are accessible or enabled
    Affected if Export routes are enabled and accessible without additional restrictions
  4. Check tab state management configuration
    Inspect the application's configuration for any settings related to tab management, blocked tabs, or browser automation that controls how tabs are created, reused, or isolated during debug/export operations
    Affected if The application allows reuse of previously blocked tabs across different operations or lacks proper tab isolation

A user is affected if their OpenClaw version is below 2026.4.29 AND they have debug or export routes enabled, particularly if tab reuse across these features is not explicitly prevented.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 2026.4.29 or later
Fixed in 2026.4.29
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.4.29 or later. Additionally, restrict access to debug and export routes and implement stricter network segmentation to limit SSRF attack surface.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

2026.4.29

  1. 1. Identify all deployments of OpenClaw currently running versions prior to 2026.4.29
  2. 2. Review the OpenClaw release notes or changelog for version 2026.4.29 to confirm it contains the SSRF policy bypass fix
  3. 3. Schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade
  4. 4. Backup the OpenClaw configuration and any associated data
  5. 5. Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.4.29 or later following the standard upgrade procedure
  6. 6. Verify the upgrade was successful and the application is functioning correctly
  7. 7. Test that the browser debug and export routes properly enforce SSRF policies and cannot be bypassed via tab reuse
