CVE-2026-32013
|
| Summary | 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 file read/write within the gateway process permissions, and chained impact up to code execution depending on which files are overwritten. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.24` - Latest published vulnerable version at patch time: `2026.2.24` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.2.25` ## Remediation `agents.files` now resolves real workspace paths, enforces containment for resolved targets, rejects out-of-workspace symlink targets, and keeps in-workspace symlink targets supported. The patch also adds gateway regression tests for blocked escapes and valid in-workspace symlink behavior. ## Fix Commit(s) - `125f4071bcbc0de32e769940d07967db47f09d3d` ## Release Process Note `patched_versions` is intentionally pre-set to the release (`2026.2.25`). Advisory published with npm release `2026.2.25`. OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting. |
