OpenClaw < 2026.3.28 - Server-Side Request Forgery via Unguarded Image Download in fal Provider

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the fal provider image-generation-provider.ts component that allows attackers to fetch internal URLs. A malicious or compromised fal relay can exploit unguarded image download fetches to expose internal service metadata and responses through the image pipeline.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the fal provider image-generation-provider.ts component that allows attackers to fetch internal URLs. A malicious or compromised fal relay can exploit unguarded image download fetches to expose internal service metadata and responses through the image pipeline.

## Summary The fal provider used raw fetches for both provider API traffic and returned image download URLs instead of the existing SSRF-guarded fetch path. ## Impact A malicious or compromised fal relay could make the gateway fetch internal URLs and expose metadata or internal service responses through the image pipeline. ## Affected Component `extensions/fal/image-generation-provider.ts` ## Fixed Versions - Affected: `<= 2026.3.24` - Patched: `>= 2026.3.28` - Latest stable `2026.3.28` contains the fix. ## Fix Fixed by commit `80d1e8a11a` (`fal: guard image fetches`). OpenClaw thanks @AntAISecurityLab for reporting.
