Description
Summary
OpenClaw's SSRF IP classifier did not treat IPv6 multicast literals (ff00::/8) as blocked/private-internal. This allowed literal multicast hosts to pass SSRF preflight checks.
Impact
A bypass in address classification existed for IPv6 multicast literals. OpenClaw's network fetch/navigation paths are constrained to HTTP/HTTPS and this was triaged as low-severity defense-in-depth hardening.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected versions:
<= 2026.2.24 - Patched versions:
>= 2026.2.25
Technical Details
The IPv6 private/internal range set omitted multicast, so addresses like ff02::1 and ff05::1:3 were not classified as blocked by the shared SSRF classifier.

Release Process Note
patched_versions is pre-set to the planned next npm release (2026.2.25). Once that release is published on npm, the advisory is published.
OpenClaw thanks @zpbrent for reporting.
