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.
