Description
Summary
openclaw versions <= 2026.3.12 could include raw Telegram bot tokens in media fetch error strings when inbound Telegram media downloads failed.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected versions:
<= 2026.3.12 - Fixed version:
2026.3.13
Details
The vulnerable path was fetchRemoteMedia() in src/media/fetch.ts. In affected releases, fetch and HTTP error paths embedded the original Telegram file URL into MediaFetchError messages. For Telegram media, those URLs can include /file/bot<TOKEN>/..., so the resulting error strings could leak bot tokens into logs, console output, or any downstream error surface that rendered the exception text.
This issue is in scope under OpenClaw's trust model because the leaked secret is an OpenClaw-operated integration credential, not a user-supplied third-party secret.
Fix
openclaw@2026.3.13 redacts sensitive media URLs before constructing fetch error messages. Current code routes the source URL and follow-on error paths through redactMediaUrl() / redactSensitiveText(), so Telegram bot tokens are no longer emitted in those error strings.
Regression coverage exists in src/media/fetch.test.ts (redacts Telegram bot tokens from fetch failure messages and redacts Telegram bot tokens from HTTP error messages).

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.

Weakness
CWE-532: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File
The product writes sensitive information to a log file.
How to prevent it
- Architecture and Design, Implementation: Consider seriously the sensitivity of the information written into log files. Do not write secrets into the log files.
- Distribution: Remove debug log files before deploying the application into production.
- Operation: Protect log files against unauthorized read/write.
- Implementation: Adjust configurations appropriately when software is transitioned from a debug state to production.
