Description

Summary The exported session HTML viewer allowed stored XSS when untrusted session content included raw HTML markdown tokens or unescaped metadata fields. Impact Opening a crafted exported HTML session could execute attacker-controlled JavaScript in the viewer context. This can expose session content in the page and enable phishing or UI spoofing in the trusted export view. Affected Packages / Versions • Package: `openclaw` (npm) • Affected versions: `= 2026.2.23` Technical Details The exporter rendered markdown with `marked.parse(...)` and inserted HTML via `innerHTML`, but did not override the `html` renderer token path. Raw HTML (for example ``) was passed through. Additional tree/header metadata fields were interpolated without escaping in the export template. Reproduction 1. Create a session containing content like ``. 2. Export the session to HTML. 3. Open the exported file. 4. Observe script execution from injected content. Remediation • Added a `marked` `html(token)` renderer override that escapes raw HTML tokens. • Escaped previously unescaped tree/header metadata fields in the export template. • Added image MIME sanitization for exported data-URL image rendering. • Added regression tests for markdown/token and metadata escaping paths. Fix Commit(s) • `f8524ec77a3999d573e6c6b8a5055bf35c49a2e6` Release Process Note `patched_versions` is pre-set to the released version (`>= 2026.2.23`). This advisory now reflects released fix version `2026.2.23`. OpenClaw thanks @allsmog for reporting.
