"The version of the OpenClaw AI assistant installed on the remote host is prior to 2026.1.30. It is, therefore,
affected by a path traversal vulnerability:

  - The isValidMedia() function in src/media/parse.ts allows arbitrary file paths including absolute paths, home
    directory paths, and directory traversal sequences. An agent can read any file on the system by outputting
    MEDIA:/path/to/file, exfiltrating sensitive data to the user/channel. (CVE-2026-25475)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
