Affected packages
• npm openclaw: < 2026.2.25 → fixed in 2026.2.25
Description
Summary
Browser trace/download output path handling allowed symlink-root and symlink-parent escapes from the managed temp root.
Affected Packages / Versions
• Package: `openclaw` (npm)
• Latest published npm version: `2026.2.24`
• Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.24`
• Planned patched release: `2026.2.25`
Impact
An attacker with relevant local foothold and ability to influence output paths could route writes outside the intended temp root via symlink traversal, leading to arbitrary file overwrite.
Fix Commit(s)
• `496a76c03ba85e15ea715e5a583e498ae04d36e3`
Release Process Note
`patched_versions` is pre-set to the release (`2026.2.25`) so once npm `2026.2.25` is published, the advisory is published.
OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
