Last modified

CVE-2026-53827 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenClaw before 2026.5.2 contains a credential exposure vulnerability in message.action forwarding that allows model-controlled metadata to forward action payloads with Gateway credentials to attacker-supplied loopback URLs. Remote attackers can intercept Gateway tokens and action payloads by providing malicious loopback targets through model-controlled action metadata.. EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
