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.
