OpenClaw's Chrome extension relay binds publicly due to wildcard treated as loopback
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
The Chrome extension relay (`ensureChromeExtensionRelayServer`) previously treated wildcard hosts (`0.0.0.0` / `::`) as loopback, which could make it bind the relay HTTP/WS server to all interfaces when a wildcard `cdpUrl` was passed.
## Impact
If configured with a wildcard `cdpUrl`, relay HTTP endpoints could become reachable off-host, leaking service presence/port and enabling DoS/brute-force traffic against the relay token header.
