Summary
OpenClaw has web_search citation redirect SSRF via private-network-allowing policy
Details

Summary

Gemini web_search citation redirect resolution used a private-network-allowing SSRF policy. A citation URL redirect could target loopback/private/internal destinations and be fetched by the gateway.

Impact

An attacker who can influence citation redirect targets could trigger internal-network requests from the OpenClaw host.

Fix

Citation redirect resolution now uses strict/default SSRF policy (no private-network override), blocking localhost/private/internal redirect targets.
