Summary OpenClaw has Sandbox Media Root Bypass via Unnormalized `mediaUrl` / `fileUrl` Parameter Keys (CWE-22) A path traversal vulnerability in the agent sandbox enforcement allows a sandboxed agent to read arbitrary files from other agents' workspaces by using the `mediaUrl` or `fileUrl` parameter key in message tool calls. The `normalizeSandboxMediaParams` function only checks `["media", "path", "filePath"]` keys, while `mediaUrl` and `fileUrl` escape normalization entirely. Combined with `handlePluginAction` dropping `mediaLocalRoots` from the dispatch context, this enables a full sandbox escape where any agent can read files outside its designated sandbox root.
