Summary

### Summary OpenClaw accepted `camera.snap` / `camera.clip` node payload `url` fields and downloaded them on the gateway/agent host without binding downloads to the resolved node host.

In OpenClaw's documented trust model, paired nodes are in the same operator trust boundary, so this is scoped as medium-severity hardening. A malicious or compromised paired node could still steer gateway-host fetches during camera URL retrieval.

### Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `>= 2026.2.13 <= 2026.3.1` - Latest vulnerable published version at time of update: `2026.3.1` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.2` (released)

### Technical Details Vulnerable flows accepted URL payloads and downloaded directly from the provided URL: - `src/cli/nodes-camera.ts` (`writeUrlToFile`) fetched URL payloads without node-host binding. - `src/cli/nodes-cli/register.camera.ts` passed `camera.snap` / `camera.clip` payload URLs into that downloader. - `src/agents/tools/nodes-tool.ts` did the same for `camera_snap` / `camera_clip` tool actions.

### Impact A malicious/compromised paired node could cause gateway-host URL fetches to off-node destinations reachable from the host network. This could be used for internal network probing/fetch pivots in deployments where paired nodes are not fully trusted.

### Remediation The fix introduces fail-closed node-host binding and guarded fetch for camera URL payload downloads: - Require resolved node host metadata for URL payload downloads. - Enforce hostname match between payload URL and resolved node host. - Use SSRF-guarded fetch with redirect host/protocol checks. - Apply the same enforcement across CLI and agent tool camera paths.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.

The maintainers of openclaw/openclaw published their own advisory on GitHub. Reviewed sources take precedence over it.
