Description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.24 contain a path traversal vulnerability where @-prefixed absolute paths bypass workspace-only file-system boundary validation due to canonicalization mismatch. Attackers can exploit this by crafting @-prefixed paths like @/etc/passwd to read files outside the intended workspace boundary when tools.fs.workspaceOnly is enabled.
Analysis
OpenClaw versions before 2026.2.24 allow authenticated attackers to bypass path traversal protections by using @-prefixed absolute paths that evade workspace boundary validation, enabling unauthorized file access outside the intended directory scope when workspace-only restrictions are configured. The vulnerability stems from a canonicalization mismatch that fails to properly validate these specially-crafted paths, allowing attackers to read arbitrary files on the system.
