DescriptionCVE.org
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.17 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the $include directive resolution that allows reading arbitrary local files outside the config directory boundary. Attackers with config modification capabilities can exploit this by specifying absolute paths, traversal sequences, or symlinks to access sensitive files readable by the OpenClaw process user, including API keys and credentials.
AnalysisAI
OpenClaw versions before 2026.2.17 allow privileged users with config modification access to read arbitrary files on the system through path traversal in the $include directive. An attacker in this position can exploit absolute paths, directory traversal sequences, or symlinks to access sensitive data like API keys and credentials that the OpenClaw process can read. No patch is currently available for this medium-severity vulnerability.
Technical ContextAI
Classified as CWE-22 (Path Traversal). Affects OpenClaw. OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.17 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the $include directive resolution that allows reading arbitrary local files outside the config directory boundary. Attackers with config modification capabilities can exploit this by specifying absolute paths, traversal sequences, or symlinks to access sensitive files readable by the OpenClaw process user, including API keys and credentials.
RemediationAI
Monitor vendor advisories for a patch. Validate and sanitize file path inputs. Use allowlists.
