Summary OpenClaw: Self-Whitelisting in appendLocalMediaParentRoots Allows Arbitrary File Read & Credential Exfiltration ## Summary Media Local Roots Self-Whitelisting in `appendLocalMediaParentRoots` Allows Model-Initiated Arbitrary Host File Read and Credential Exfiltration ## Current Maintainer Triage - Status: narrow - Normalized severity: medium - Assessment: v2026.3.28 still self-whitelists media parent dirs in src/media/local-roots.ts, but only after config already permits tool-fs root expansion, so the impact is narrower than the default-critical framing. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published npm version: `2026.3.31` - Vulnerable version range: `<=2026.3.28` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.31` - First stable tag containing the fix: `v2026.3.31` ## Fix Commit(s) - `1ca4261d7e055d0be141ed79ebb1365d0fbc7364` — 2026-03-30T17:15:03+01:00 OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
