Affected packages

• npm openclaw: < 2026.3.22 → fixed in 2026.3.22

Description

Summary Windows local-media handling accepted remote-host file URLs and UNC-style paths before local-path validation, so network-hosted file targets could be treated as local content. Affected Packages / Versions • Package: `openclaw` (npm) • Affected: = 2026.3.22 • Latest released tag checked: `v2026.3.23-2` (`630f1479c44f78484dfa21bb407cbe6f171dac87`) • Latest published npm version checked: `2026.3.23-2` Fix Commit(s) • `4fd7feb0fd4ec16c48ed983980dba79a09b3aaf5` • `93880717f1cd34feaa45e74e939b7a5256288901` Release Status The fix shipped in `v2026.3.22` and remains present in `v2026.3.23` and `v2026.3.23-2`. Code-Level Confirmation • src/infra/local-file-access.ts now rejects remote-host file: URLs and UNC/network paths as non-local input. • src/media/web-media.ts, src/media-understanding/attachments.normalize.ts, and src/agents/sandbox-paths.ts all route through the shared local-file guard. OpenClaw thanks @RacerZ-fighting, @Fushuling for reporting.
