Technical details
OpenClaw's trusted-host DNS recheck validation fails to reject unspecified addresses (0.0.0.0, ::) when a trusted hostname resolves to them, enabling SSRF. An attacker with DNS influence can cause guarded fetches to reach loopback-bound services, achieving information disclosure. This requires high complexity (DNS hijacking) but impacts confidentiality; patched in 2026.8.1.
