Description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.26 contain a path traversal vulnerability in workspace boundary validation that allows attackers to write files outside the workspace through in-workspace symlinks pointing to non-existent out-of-root targets. The vulnerability exists because the boundary check improperly resolves aliases, permitting the first write operation to escape the workspace boundary and create files in arbitrary locations.
Analysis
OpenClaw versions before 2026.2.26 allow authenticated attackers to write arbitrary files outside the workspace directory by exploiting improper symlink resolution in path validation checks. An attacker with workspace access can leverage in-workspace symlinks pointing to external targets to bypass boundary restrictions on the first write operation. …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Inventory all systems running OpenClaw and identify affected versions; restrict workspace access to essential users only. Within 7 days: Apply vendor patch 2026.2.26 or later to all affected instances in a staged deployment. …
