CVE-2026-31989
OpenClaw has web_search citation redirect SSRF via private-network-allowing policy
Impact
### Summary Gemini `web_search` citation redirect resolution used a private-network-allowing SSRF policy. A citation URL redirect could target loopback/private/internal destinations and be fetched by the gateway. ### Impact An attacker who can influence citation redirect targets could trigger internal-network requests from the OpenClaw host. ### Fix Citation redirect resolution now uses strict/default SSRF policy (no private-network override), blocking localhost/private/internal redirect targets. ### Affected and Patched Versions - Affected: `<= 2026.2.26` - Patched: `2026.3.1`
