OpenClaw: Sandbox browser CDP relay could expose DevTools protocol on 0.0.0.0
Summary
Sandbox browser CDP relay could expose DevTools protocol on 0.0.0.0.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw - Ecosystem: npm
- Affected versions:
< 2026.4.10 - Patched versions:
>= 2026.4.10
Impact
The sandbox browser CDP relay could bind too broadly, exposing Chrome DevTools Protocol access outside the intended local/sandbox source range.
Technical Details
The fix enforces CDP source-range restriction by default and avoids broad 0.0.0.0 exposure unless explicitly configured.
Fix
The issue was fixed in #61404. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.10, and [email protected] includes the fix.
