Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
OpenClaw versions 2026.2.6 through 2026.3.24 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the Feishu extension resolveUploadInput function that bypasses file-system sandbox restrictions. Attackers can exploit improper path resolution during upload_image operations to read arbitrary files outside configured localRoots boundaries.
AnalysisAI
OpenClaw versions 2026.2.6 through 2026.3.24 allow authenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files outside configured sandbox boundaries via path traversal in the Feishu extension's resolveUploadInput function during upload_image operations. The vulnerability bypasses file-system sandbox restrictions through improper path resolution, enabling confidentiality compromise of sensitive data accessible to the application process.
Technical ContextAI
OpenClaw's Feishu extension implements file upload functionality through the upload_image operation, which invokes the resolveUploadInput function to determine target file paths. The vulnerability stems from insufficient canonicalization and validation of user-supplied path input before filesystem operations (CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory). Attackers can inject path traversal sequences (such as '../' or absolute paths) that are not properly neutralized, allowing the application to resolve and read files outside the intended localRoots sandbox directory. This represents a classic path traversal flaw where the application fails to validate that resolved paths remain within allowed boundaries.
RemediationAI
Upgrade OpenClaw to a patched version beyond 2026.3.24 as indicated in the GitHub security advisory (GHSA-qf48-qfv4-jjm9) at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-qf48-qfv4-jjm9. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict authentication credentials for Feishu extension access to trusted users only, implement network-level access controls limiting which users can reach OpenClaw upload endpoints, and monitor file access logs for suspicious path patterns involving '../' or absolute paths in upload_image request parameters. Validate and test that the fixed version properly canonicalizes paths and enforces localRoots boundaries before deploying to production.
