CVE-2026-26327
Description
OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Discovery beacons (Bonjour/mDNS and DNS-SD) include TXT records such as `lanHost`, `tailnetDns`, `gatewayPort`, and `gatewayTlsSha256`. TXT records are unauthenticated. Prior to version 2026.2.14, some clients treated TXT values as authoritative routing/pinning inputs. iOS and macOS used TXT-provided host hints (`lanHost`/`tailnetDns`) and ports (`gatewayPort`) to build the connection URL. iOS and Android allowed the discovery-provided TLS fingerprint (`gatewayTlsSha256`) to override a previously stored TLS pin. On a shared/untrusted LAN, an attacker could advertise a rogue `_openclaw-gw._tcp` service. This could cause a client to connect to an attacker-controlled endpoint and/or accept an attacker certificate, potentially exfiltrating Gateway credentials (`auth.token` / `auth.password`) during connection. As of time of publication, the iOS and Android apps are alpha/not broadly shipped (no public App Store / Play Store release). Practical impact is primarily limited to developers/testers running those builds, plus any other shipped clients relying on discovery on a shared/untrusted LAN. Version 2026.2.14 fixes the issue. Clients now prefer the resolved service endpoint (SRV + A/AAAA) over TXT-provided routing hints. Discovery-provided fingerprints no longer override stored TLS pins. In iOS/Android, first-time TLS pins require explicit user confirmation (fingerprint shown; no silent TOFU) and discovery-based direct connects are TLS-only. In Android, hostname verification is no longer globally disabled (only bypassed when pinning).

"value": "OpenClaw es un asistente personal de IA. Las balizas de descubrimiento (Bonjour/mDNS y DNS-SD) incluyen registros TXT como 'lanHost', 'tailnetDns', 'gatewayPort' y 'gatewayTlsSha256'. Los registros TXT no est\u00e1n autenticados. Antes de la versi\u00f3n 2026.2.14, algunos clientes trataban los valores TXT como entradas autoritativas de enrutamiento/fijaci\u00f3n. iOS y macOS usaban las sugerencias de host ('lanHost'/'tailnetDns') y los puertos ('gatewayPort') proporcionados por TXT para construir la URL de conexi\u00f3n. iOS y Android permit\u00edan que la huella digital TLS ('gatewayTlsSha256') proporcionada por el descubrimiento anulara una fijaci\u00f3n TLS previamente almacenada. En una LAN compartida/no confiable, un atacante podr\u00eda anunciar un servicio '_openclaw-gw._tcp' malicioso. Esto podr\u00eda hacer que un cliente se conectara a un punto final controlado por un atacante y/o aceptara un certificado de atacante, potencialmente exfiltrando credenciales de Gateway ('auth.token' / 'auth.password') durante la conexi\u00f3n. En el momento de la publicaci\u00f3n, las aplicaciones de iOS y Android est\u00e1n en fase alfa/no se han distribuido ampliamente (sin lanzamiento p\u00fablico en App Store / Play Store). El impacto pr\u00e1ctico se limita principalmente a desarrolladores/probadores que ejecutan esas compilaciones, adem\u00e1s de cualquier otro cliente distribuido que dependa del descubrimiento en una LAN compartida/no confiable. La versi\u00f3n 2026.2.14 corrige el problema. Los clientes ahora prefieren el punto final de servicio resuelto (SRV + A/AAAA) sobre las sugerencias de enrutamiento proporcionadas por TXT. Las huellas digitales proporcionadas por el descubrimiento ya no anulan las fijaciones TLS almacenadas. En iOS/Android, las fijaciones TLS por primera vez requieren confirmaci\u00f3n expl\u00edcita del usuario (huella digital mostrada; sin TOFU silencioso) y las conexiones directas basadas en descubrimiento son solo TLS. En Android, la verificaci\u00f3n de nombre de host ya no est\u00e1 deshabilitada globalmente (solo se omite al fijar)."
