CVE-2026-41361: OpenClaw < 2026.3.28 - SSRF Guard Bypass via IPv6 Special-Use Ranges
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 20/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.20% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: OpenClaw OpenClaw 2026.3.28.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to OpenClaw OpenClaw 2026.3.28 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an SSRF guard bypass vulnerability that fails to block four IPv6 special-use ranges. Attackers can exploit this by crafting URLs targeting internal or non-routable IPv6 addresses to bypass SSRF protections.
