OpenClaw before 2026.5.7 contains a hostname validation vulnerability in retry endpoint checks that allows matching hostname prefixes instead of exact hostnames. Attackers can exploit this by crafting a hostname prefix resembling a trusted host to send authentication material to untrusted endpoints.
CVE-2026-53839
Score 6.5 from GitHub Security Advisory published 2026-06-13. A secondary CVSS source baseline 6.5; sources differ by 0.0.
