OpenClaw, an open-source personal AI assistant, has released version 2026.2.23. This update focuses on enhancing security measures and integrating advanced AI functionalities.

Version 2026.2.23 includes several security updates:

Introduction of optional HTTP security headers, such as Strict-Transport-Security , to mitigate man-in-the-middle attacks. Improved session maintenance with "openclaw sessions cleanup" for preventing storage overflows and data leaks. Change in the browser SSRF policy to "trusted-network" mode, requiring explicit configuration for private network users. Redaction of sensitive dynamic keys in configuration snapshots to prevent exposure. Enhanced execution security by requiring explicit approval for obfuscated commands. Skills packaging now rejects symlink escapes and XSS-vulnerable prompts. OTEL diagnostics redact API keys from logs for improved security.

The update offers several improvements on the AI front:

First-class support for Kilo Gateway with default kilocode/anthropic/claude-opus-4.6. Normalization of shorthand Claude references in Vercel AI Gateway. Expanded media understanding with native Moonshot video support. Per-agent parameter overrides for cache retention and bootstrap caching. Enhanced context pruning for Moonshot/Kimi and improved model resolution for defaults.

OpenClaw v2026.2.23 includes contributions from numerous developers, further establishing it as a secure AI platform for messaging applications like WhatsApp and Telegram.

OpenClaw, an open-source personal AI assistant, has released version 2026.2.23.
