DescriptionCVE.org

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25 contain a symlink traversal vulnerability in browser trace and download output path handling that allows local attackers to escape the managed temp root directory. An attacker with local access can create symlinks to route file writes outside the intended temp directory, enabling arbitrary file overwrite on the affected system.

AnalysisAI

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25 contain a symlink traversal vulnerability in the browser trace and download output path handling that allows local attackers with limited privileges to escape the managed temporary root directory and overwrite arbitrary files on the system. An attacker can create symbolic links to redirect file writes outside the intended sandbox, resulting in information disclosure and potential system compromise through arbitrary file modification. A patch is available from the vendor, and this vulnerability requires local access with low privileges to exploit, making it a medium-severity concern for multi-user systems.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability is rooted in CWE-59 (Improper Link Resolution Before File Access, also known as symlink traversal), a classic file system security flaw where applications fail to validate symlink targets before performing file operations. The OpenClaw application (cpe:2.3:a:openclaw:openclaw:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) manages temporary directories for browser trace logging and download operations, but does not properly sanitize or resolve symbolic links before writing output to these paths. An attacker with local system access can place crafted symlinks in predictable locations within the temp directory structure, causing OpenClaw to follow those symlinks and write sensitive data or executable content to arbitrary filesystem locations outside the intended sandboxed temp root. This is particularly dangerous in shared hosting or containerized environments where multiple users or processes operate on the same system.

RemediationAI

Immediately upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.2.25 or later to apply the vendor patch available at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/496a76c03ba85e15ea715e5a583e498ae04d36e3. Until patching is possible, restrict local system access to OpenClaw processes using OS-level privilege separation and file system isolation (e.g., dedicated unprivileged user accounts, AppArmor, SELinux, or seccomp profiles that prevent symlink creation in temp directories). Configure the application to use a private temporary directory with restrictive permissions (mode 0700) and verify that temp paths are created at runtime with O_EXCL or equivalent atomic semantics. Implement monitoring and alerting on unexpected symlink creation within OpenClaw's temp directories to detect attack attempts.
