Description

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: openclaw (npm)
Affected versions: < 2026.4.20
Patched version: 2026.4.20

Impact

The QQBot direct-upload media path could forward attacker-controlled image URLs without applying the SSRF validation used by the local download path. This could make configured QQBot media delivery request or relay URLs the operator did not intend to allow.

The affected path is limited to QQBot outbound media handling and does not expose arbitrary local files. Severity is low.

Fix

OpenClaw now validates QQBot direct-upload media URLs before uploadC2CMedia and uploadGroupMedia direct-upload calls.

Fix commit:

49db424c8001f2f419aad85f434894d8d85c1a09

Release

Fixed in OpenClaw 2026.4.20.

NVD description

OpenClaw before 2026.4.20 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in QQBot direct media upload that skips URL validation. Attackers can bypass SSRF protections by sending crafted image URLs to uploadC2CMedia and uploadGroupMedia endpoints to relay unintended requests.
