{"id":"CVE-2026-22174","aliases":["GHSA-v3j7-34xh-6g3w"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-22174","summary":"OpenClaw < 2026.2.22 - Gateway Token Disclosure via Chrome CDP Probe","details":"### Summary\nA local process can capture the OpenClaw Gateway auth token from Chrome CDP probe traffic on loopback.\n\n### Details\nAffected versions inject `x-openclaw-relay-token` for loopback CDP URLs, and CDP reachability probes send that header to `/json/version`.\nIf an attacker controls the probed loopback port, they can read that token and reuse it as Gateway bearer auth.\n\nRelevant code paths (pre-fix):\n- `src/browser/extension-relay.ts` (`getChromeExtensionRelayAuthHeaders`)\n- `src/browser/cdp.helpers.ts` (`getHeadersWithAuth`)\n- `src/browser/chrome.ts` (`fetchChromeVersion`)\n\n### Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Latest published (at triage): `2026.2.21-2`\n- Vulnerable: `<= 2026.2.21-2`\n- Patched: >= 2026.2.22\n\n### Deployment Model Applicability\nThis does **not** change OpenClaw’s documented security model for standard single-owner installs (you own the machine/VPS and trust local processes under that OS account boundary).\nRisk is for **non-standard shared-user/shared-host installs** where an untrusted local user/process can race/bind the loopback relay port.\n\n### Impact\n- Local credential disclosure.\n- Follow-on impact depends on local deployment and enabled Gateway capabilities.\n\n### Fix Commit(s)\n- `afa22acc4a09fdf32be8a167ae216bee85c30dad`\n\n### Release Process Note\nPatched version is set to >= 2026.2.22 for the published release.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.","published":"2026-03-18T01:34:20.043Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:28.108773497Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.2.22"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/afa22acc4a09fdf32be8a167ae216bee85c30dad","label":"openclaw/openclaw@afa22ac"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/22xxx/CVE-2026-22174.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-v3j7-34xh-6g3w"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-22174"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-gateway-token-disclosure-via-chrome-cdp-probe"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/afa22acc4a09fdf32be8a167ae216bee85c30dad"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:28.108773497Z"}}
