2026.2.15- Upgrade openclaw to this version or later
Description
Vulnerability
Telegram bot tokens can appear in error messages and stack traces (for example, when request URLs include https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/...). OpenClaw previously logged these strings without redaction, which could leak the bot token into logs, crash reports, CI output, or support bundles.
Impact
Disclosure of a Telegram bot token allows an attacker to impersonate the bot and take over Bot API access.
