SCA: security update for openclaw (GHSA-3fqr-4cg8-h96q)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437795

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to 2026.2.14, browser-facing localhost mutation routes accepted
cross-origin browser requests without explicit Origin/Referer validation. Loopback binding reduces remote
exposure but does not prevent browser-initiated requests from malicious origins. A malicious website can
trigger unauthorized state changes against a victim's local OpenClaw browser control plane (for example
opening tabs, starting/stopping the browser, mutating storage/cookies) if the browser control service is
reachable on loopback in the victim's browser context. Starting in version 2026.2.14, mutating HTTP
methods (POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE) are rejected when the request indicates a non-loopback Origin/Referer (or
`Sec-Fetch-Site: cross-site`). Other mitigations include enabling browser control auth (token/password)
and avoid running with auth disabled. (CVE-2026-26317)
