Description

Summary

openclaw versions <= 2026.3.12 could include raw Telegram bot tokens in media fetch error strings when inbound Telegram media downloads failed.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected versions: <= 2026.3.12
  • Fixed version: 2026.3.13

Details

The vulnerable path was fetchRemoteMedia() in src/media/fetch.ts. In affected releases, fetch and HTTP error paths embedded the original Telegram file URL into MediaFetchError messages. For Telegram media, those URLs can include /file/bot<TOKEN>/..., so the resulting error strings could leak bot tokens into logs, console output, or any downstream error surface that rendered the exception text.

This issue is in scope under OpenClaw's trust model because the leaked secret is an OpenClaw-operated integration credential, not a user-supplied third-party secret.

Fix

[email protected] redacts sensitive media URLs before constructing fetch error messages. Current code routes the source URL and follow-on error paths through redactMediaUrl() / redactSensitiveText(), so Telegram bot tokens are no longer emitted in those error strings.

Regression coverage exists in src/media/fetch.test.ts (redacts Telegram bot tokens from fetch failure messages and redacts Telegram bot tokens from HTTP error messages).

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update openclaw to 2026.3.13 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-xwcj-hwhf-h378 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
