## Description

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the marketplace plugin download functionality that allows attackers to access internal resources by following unvalidated redirects. The marketplace.ts module fails to restrict redirect destinations during archive downloads, enabling remote attackers to redirect requests to arbitrary internal or external servers.
