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-JMM5-FVH5-GF4P OpenClaw has non-constant-time token comparison in hooks authentication

Summary OpenClaw hooks previously compared the provided hook token using a regular string comparison. Because this comparison is not constant-time, an attacker with network access to the hooks endpoint could potentially use timing measurements across many requests to gradually infer the token. In...

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...
