Incorrect Behavior Order: Validate Before Canonicalize

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Behavior Order: Validate Before Canonicalize via the boundary validation process for @-prefixed absolute paths when tools.fs.workspaceOnly is set to true. An attacker can access...

GHSA-27CR-4P5M-74RJ OpenClaw has a workspace-only sandbox guard mismatch for @-prefixed absolute paths

A workspace-only file-system guard mismatch allowed @-prefixed absolute paths to bypass boundary validation in some tool path checks. Impact When tools.fs.workspaceOnly=true, certain @-prefixed absolute paths for example @/etc/passwd could be validated before canonicalization while runtime path...

OpenClaw: Experimental apply_patch may bypass workspace-only checks in opt-in sandbox mounts (off by default)

Summary In some opt-in sandbox configurations, the experimental applypatch tool did not consistently apply workspace-only checks to mounted paths for example /agent/.... Impact This does not affect default installs. Default posture: - agents.defaults.sandbox.mode=off sandbox disabled by default -...

Incorrect Authorization

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the applypatch process. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to files or directories outside the intended workspace by exploiting insufficient enforcement ...

GHSA-CFVJ-7RX7-FC7C OpenClaw: stageSandboxMedia destination symlink traversal can overwrite files outside sandbox workspace

Summary stageSandboxMedia allowed destination symlink traversal during media staging, which could overwrite files outside the sandbox workspace root. Impact When sandbox media staging handled inbound files, destination writes under media/inbound were not destination-alias-safe. If a symlink exist...

Directory Traversal

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Directory Traversal in detectAndLoadPromptImages or loadImageFromRef. An attacker can access and load image data from out-of-workspace paths by referencing mounted paths in prompt text...

GHSA-9F72-QCPW-2HXC OpenClaw: Native prompt image auto-load did not honor tools.fs.workspaceOnly in sandboxed runs

Summary In sandboxed runs, native prompt image auto-load did not honor tools.fs.workspaceOnly=true. This optional hardening setting is not enabled by default. When operators enabled it, prompt text could still reference mounted out-of-workspace image paths for example /agent/secret.png and load...

GHSA-RX3G-MVC3-QFJF OpenClaw's avatar symlink traversal can expose out-of-workspace local files

Summary OpenClaw avatar handling allowed a symlink traversal path that could expose local files outside an agent workspace through gateway avatar surfaces. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw npm - Affected versions: = 2026.2.22 so after npm release, the remaining action is to publis...

GHSA-XW4P-PW82-HQR7 OpenClaw's sandbox skill mirroring path traversal vulnerability could write outside the sandbox workspace

Overview In affected versions, OpenClaw’s sandbox skill mirroring used the skill’s frontmatter name as part of the destination path when copying skills into the sandbox workspace. A crafted skill name containing traversal segments for example ../ or an absolute path could cause the copy to write...

GHSA-FGVX-58P6-GJWC OpenClaw gateway agents.files symlink escape allowed out-of-workspace file read/write

Impact The gateway agents.files.get and agents.files.set methods allowed symlink traversal for allowlisted workspace files. A symlinked allowlisted file for example AGENTS.md could resolve outside the agent workspace and be read/written by the gateway process. This could enable arbitrary host fil...
