OpenClaw - Unauthorized Agent Request Dispatch via Untrusted Local-Network Pages in iOS A2UI Bridge
OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 contains an improper access control vulnerability in the iOS A2UI bridge that treats generic local-network pages as trusted origins. Attackers can inject unauthorized agent.request runs by loading attacker-controlled pages from local-network or tailnet hosts, polluting session state and consuming budget.
