OpenClaw has agent avatar symlink traversal in gateway session metadata

Summary A crafted local avatar path could follow a symlink outside the agent workspace and return arbitrary file contents as a base64 data: URL in gateway responses. Impact - Confidentiality impact: local file read in the gateway process context. - Exfiltration path: agents.list can return the...

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...
