| # Title : OpenClaw 2026.3.13 MEDIA Protocol File Disclosure Exploit via Discord Prompt Injection |
| # Author : indoushka |
| # Tested on : windows 11 Fr(Pro) / browser : Mozilla firefox 147.0.4 (64 bits) |
| # Vendor : https://openclaw.ai/ |
==================================================================================================================================
[+] Summary : This Python script is a security exploitation tool targeting the OpenClaw system integrated with Discord.
It attempts to exfiltrate sensitive files from a victim environment by abusing a “MEDIA:” prompt injection mechanism.
