  • Disclosed: 02.03.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Summary

Browser trace/download output path handling allowed symlink-root and symlink-parent escapes from the managed temp root.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Latest published npm version: 2026.2.24
  • Affected versions: <= 2026.2.24

Impact

An attacker with relevant local foothold and ability to influence output paths could route writes outside the intended temp root via symlink traversal, leading to arbitrary file overwrite.
