Security patch release. Details will be published in a GitHub advisory after the fixed version is on npm, per SECURITY.md.

Tests: npm test 1144 passed, lint + typecheck clean, OpenClaw security-scanner integration test passes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security
    • Local proxy requests from non-local or cross-site sources are rejected.
    • Image inputs are checked for valid formats and size; unsafe URLs, redirects, and private-network destinations are blocked unless explicitly permitted.
    • Paid image and video generation commands now require an authorized sender.
    • Predexon requests with unsafe or encoded path traversal are rejected.
  • Release
    • Updated to version 0.12.282.

…nly images

- Refuse requests with a cross-site Origin, Sec-Fetch-Site: cross-site, or a
  non-local Host header. Native clients send no Origin and are unaffected.
- img2img: local paths are read only when the bytes are a PNG, JPEG or WebP;
  source URLs go through an SSRF guard that re-checks every redirect
  (CLAWROUTER_ALLOW_PRIVATE_FETCH=1 opts in to a local image server).
- The dynamic Predexon tool checks its path as the URL parser resolves it.
- Paid channel commands (cr-imagegen, videogen, cr-call) require an
  authorized sender.

Walkthrough

The v0.12.282 release adds proxy request and image-input restrictions, authorization requirements for three paid commands, and additional validation for dynamic Predexon paths.

Changes

Security Controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Proxy request and image-input protections
src/local-guard.ts, src/proxy.ts, src/local-guard.test.ts, src/proxy.img2img-abort.test.ts, CHANGELOG.md, apps/desktop/electron/core/runtime.ts, package.json
The proxy rejects requests that fail local-trust checks. Remote image URLs use SSRF-safe fetching, and local image files must meet file-size and image-signature checks. Tests cover these restrictions. Release notes and package versions are updated to v0.12.282.
Paid command authorization
src/index.ts
cr-imagegen, videogen, and cr-call now require sender authorization.
Predexon path validation
src/partners/tools.ts, src/local-guard.test.ts
Dynamic paths are parsed and rejected when they contain traversal forms or resolve outside the /v1/pm/ namespace. Tests cover encoded and literal traversal attempts.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 43efc

Image URL protections can still allow requests to private destinations through DNS or certain IPv6 addresses. Close those gaps before releasing this security update.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 43efc

The patch strengthens local-request, file-read and paid-command controls. Moderate risk remains because remote image downloads do not fully exclude private-network destinations, although that exposure existed before this patch. Sender-authorization enforcement and deployment settings also remain incompletely verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — For an attacker able to deliver image-input values through an accepted local client, the affected scope is the proxy process's outbound network reach and its payer context. Private services and metadata endpoints may be targets where reachable, and fetched response bytes are forwarded to the image provider. Direct LAN access is constrained by loopback binding; broader forwarding, tenant exposure and credential extraction are not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The retained DNS-related SSRF finding remains: an accepted hostname is passed to fetch without checking the resolved destination. Redirect checks do not close that path. The base already performed unrestricted fetches for the same image inputs, so this is an incomplete remediation of existing exposure, not an established PR regression.
  • observed — The retained IPv6 classifier finding remains: the link-local check matches fe80: rather than the entire fe80::/10 range. Other link-local literals can pass classification. Their unrestricted image-fetch exposure also existed at the base; practical reach depends on the process's IPv6 connectivity.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new request gate rejects non-local Host values, unacceptable Origins and cross-site fetch metadata before endpoint routing. It is a browser-to-local-service defense, not a credential or channel-sender check. Paid-command sender authorization remains delegated through requireAuth to the host API, whose exact deployed enforcement was not verified.
  • observed — Predexon tool input is checked against both literal restrictions and URL-parser normalization before dispatch. Encoded dot, slash and backslash forms and resolved paths outside /v1/pm/ are rejected, tightening the tool's endpoint authority without adding a new route or broader credential scope.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Rejected image inputs terminate before paid dispatch, and cancellation propagates across source fetching and upstream execution. The comparison establishes no new reservation, retry, payment-ordering or output-cleanup transition in this path. Existing settlement and abandoned-output behavior should not be interpreted as transactionally reversible.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Enforce destination policy against the actual connection address, bind validated resolution to the connection across redirects, and classify IPv6 ranges by address and prefix rather than textual fragments.
  • proposed — Replace the process-wide private-fetch bypass with explicitly approved destinations while retaining metadata exclusions, and verify the host authorization contract for supported runtime versions and command configurations.

Block the full fe80::/10 range. The fe80: prefix check misses link-local addresses such as [fe90::1] and [febf::1]. Match the first hextet across fe80–febf and add boundary tests for fe80, febf, and fec0.

SSRF

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-918 — Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

Check the resolved IP address, not only the hostname text.

isBlockedSsrfHost looks at the hostname text only. It does not resolve DNS. ssrfSafeFetch then calls fetch(current), and fetch does its own DNS lookup. A hostname that resolves to a blocked address therefore passes the check. Examples are localtest.me (resolves to 127.0.0.1) or an attacker's domain whose A record is 169.254.169.254.

Path: the image/mask field in the request body → ssrfSafeFetch → the hostname check passes → fetch connects to loopback or the metadata address → the proxy turns the response bytes into a data URI. The same gap applies to every redirect hop. This breaks the guarantee in the PR's own docs: "Source image URLs must be public". The attacker needs to control a request body. A prompt-injected agent or chat message can do that.

Fix: resolve the hostname with dns.lookup(host, { all: true }) and reject the request if any returned address is blocked. Then pin the connection to the checked address. Use an undici Agent with a connect.lookup hook that returns only that address, so a DNS rebind between the check and the connection cannot happen. Repeat this on every redirect hop.

Based on learnings: "pin each connection's resolved DNS address via a custom lookup hook and re-validate/re-pin on every redirect".
