OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot or Clawdbot) vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Summary
Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, remote CDP discovery could return a trailing-dot localhost host such as localhost. and bypass OpenClaw's loopback-host normalization. That let a non-loopback remote CDP profile pivot the follow-up connection back onto localhost.
Impact
A hostile discovery response could retarget authenticated browser control toward a localhost-resolving endpoint on the OpenClaw host. This weakened the existing remote-CDP loopback protection and could expose localhost-backed browser state.
