OpenClaw: MCP Streamable HTTP redirects could forward configured custom headers to another origin
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
OpenClaw supports remote MCP Streamable HTTP servers with operator-configured custom headers. In affected releases, those headers could be forwarded when the MCP endpoint responded with a cross-origin redirect.
This issue is limited to configured MCP Streamable HTTP servers that use custom headers. It does not expose unrelated OpenClaw credentials.
### Affected configurations
This affects deployments where an MCP server is configured with:
- `transportType: "streamable-http"`
- sensitive custom headers under `mcp.servers.*.headers`
- an MCP endpoint that is malicious, compromised, or able to redirect to another origin
### Impact
Custom MCP headers, such as API keys or tenant-routing headers, could be sent to the redirect target. The exposed credential scope depends on the header the operator configured for that MCP server.
### Patched Versions
The first stable patched version is `2026.5.12`.
### Mitigations
Upgrade to `[email protected]` or later. Before upgrading, avoid custom MCP headers with servers you do not fully trust, and rotate any MCP-specific credentials that may have been exposed by a redirecting endpoint.
