Affected packages
• npm openclaw: < 2026.3.2 → fixed in 2026.3.2
Description
Summary
A path-confinement bypass in browser output handling allowed writes outside intended roots in `openclaw` versions up to and including `2026.3.1`.
The fix unifies root-bound, file-descriptor-verified write semantics and canonical path-boundary validation across browser output and related install/skills write paths.
Affected Packages / Versions
• Package: `openclaw` (npm)
• Latest published npm version at triage time: `2026.3.1`
• Affected range: `<= 2026.3.1`
• Patched release: `2026.3.2` (released)
Fix Commit(s)
• `104d32bb64cdf19d5e77f70553a511a2ae90ad1c`
Technical Notes
• Browser output writes now use root-bound, fd/inode-verified commit flow.
• Install + skills path checks now share canonical in-base validation to reduce drift and close equivalent escape surfaces.
• Added regression coverage for symlink-rebind and root-bound source-path write behavior.
