Summary OpenClaw Vulnerable to Local File Exfiltration via MCP Tool Result MEDIA: Directive Injection A malicious or compromised MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool server can exfiltrate arbitrary local files from the host system by injecting `MEDIA:` directives into tool result text content. OpenClaw's tool result processing pipeline extracts file paths from `MEDIA:` tokens without source-level validation, passes them through a `localRoots` allowlist check that includes `os.tmpdir()` by default (covering `/tmp` on Linux/macOS and `%TEMP%` on Windows), and then reads and delivers the file contents to external messaging channels such as Discord, Slack, Telegram, and WhatsApp.
