Gate News: On March 12, OpenClaw, an open-source AI intelligent platform, released version v2026.3.11-beta.1 on March 11, featuring 15 new functions and numerous security fixes. The memory system now supports multimodal indexing for the first time, allowing users to create searchable vector indexes for local images and audio files. It relies on Google’s Gemini embedding-2-preview model, supports custom output dimensions, and automatically triggers reindexing when dimensions change.
For local model experience, the new version adds a one-stop onboarding process for Ollama, supporting both “pure local” and “cloud + local” modes, with a built-in recommended model list. The iOS version introduces a welcome page with real-time intelligent agent status overview, replacing floating controls with a fixed bottom toolbar. The macOS version adds a chat model selector.
In terms of security, this release fixes a high-risk WebSocket hijacking vulnerability (GHSA-5wcw-8jjv-m286). In trusted-proxy mode, attackers can bypass browser origin verification to gain operator.admin administrator privileges. Additionally, multiple security issues have been addressed, including sandbox temporary file escape, session reset privilege escalation, unverified plugin route inheritance of admin rights, and sub-agent privilege escalation.
