2026.2.14- Upgrade openclaw to this version or later
Description
Summary
OpenClaw's SSRF protection could be bypassed using full-form IPv4-mapped IPv6 literals such as 0:0:0:0:0:ffff:7f00:1 (which is 127.0.0.1). This could allow requests that should be blocked (loopback / private network / link-local metadata) to pass the SSRF guard.
- Vulnerable component: SSRF guard (
src/infra/net/ssrf.ts) - Issue type: SSRF protection bypass
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Vulnerable:
<= 2026.2.13 - Patched:
>= 2026.2.14(planned next release)
Details
The SSRF guard's IP classification did not consistently detect private IPv4 addresses when they were embedded in IPv6 using full-form IPv4-mapped IPv6 notation. As a result, inputs like 0:0:0:0:0:ffff:7f00:1 could bypass loopback/private network blocking.

Release Process Note
This advisory is kept in draft state with the patched version set to the planned next release. Once openclaw@2026.2.14 is published to npm, the only remaining step should be to publish this advisory.
Thanks @yueyueL for reporting.

How to fix
Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.
