Summary

OpenClaw used left-most X-Forwarded-For values when requests came from configured trusted proxies. In proxy chains that append/preserve header values, this could let attacker-controlled header content influence security decisions tied to client IP.

Affected Packages / Versions

• Package: openclaw (npm)
• Affected: <= 2026.2.19-2
• Patched: 2026.2.21 (planned next release)

Impact

Possible client-IP spoofing in security-sensitive paths (for example auth rate-limit identity and local/private classification) for deployments behind trusted proxies with non-recommended forwarding behavior.

Scope Note

OpenClaw docs recommend reverse proxies overwrite (not append/preserve) inbound forwarding headers. This condition reduces severity.
