Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.1.29

Description OpenClaw (also known as ClawdBot or MoltBot) contains a critical security flaw due to the lack of proper validation of incoming requests. The software obtains a gatewayUrl value from a query string and automatically establishes a WebSocket connection without user prompting, which transmits a token value. This flaw allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized system access and execute arbitrary code if a user visits a specially crafted link. This issue is characterized as a WebSocket token hijacking vulnerability.

Recommendations Update OpenClaw to version 2026.1.29 or later.
