DescriptionGitHub Advisory

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to version 2026.2.15, a bug in download skill installation allowed targetDir values from skill frontmatter to resolve outside the per-skill tools directory if not strictly validated. In the admin-only skills.install flow, this could write files outside the intended install sandbox. Version 2026.2.15 contains a fix for the issue.

AnalysisAI

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.15 allow authenticated administrators to write files outside the skill installation directory due to insufficient validation of the targetDir parameter during skill installation. An admin user could exploit this path traversal vulnerability to place malicious files in arbitrary locations on the system. A patch is available in version 2026.2.15 and later.
