OpenClaw: CDP /json/version WebSocket URL could pivot to untrusted second-hop targets
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
CDP /json/version WebSocket URL could pivot to untrusted second-hop targets.
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw`
- Ecosystem: npm
- Affected versions: `< 2026.4.5`
- Patched versions: `>= 2026.4.5`
## Impact
A browser profile could trust a CDP `/json/version` response whose `webSocketDebuggerUrl` pointed at a different host, enabling a second-hop SSRF-style pivot.
## Technical Details
The fix normalizes and re-validates direct CDP WebSocket targets before connecting.

The issue was fixed in #60469. The first stable tag containing the fix is `v2026.4.5`, and `[email protected]` includes the fix.
## Fix Commit(s)

- PR: #60469
## Release Process Note
Users should upgrade to `openclaw` 2026.4.5 or newer. The latest npm release, `2026.4.14`, already includes the fix.
