Affected packages
• npm openclaw: < 2026.2.23 → fixed in 2026.2.23
Description
Summary
In OpenClaw, the sandboxed `image` tool did not honor `tools.fs.workspaceOnly=true` for mounted paths resolved by the sandbox FS bridge. This allowed reading out-of-workspace mounted images (for example `/agent/*`) and forwarding those bytes to vision model providers.
Impact
Sandbox boundary bypass with confidentiality impact. In affected versions, `read`/`write`/`edit` respected workspace-only guardrails, but `image` could still load mounted out-of-workspace files and exfiltrate them via model requests.
Affected Packages / Versions
• Package: `openclaw` (npm)
• Affected versions: `= 2026.2.23` (released)
• Latest published npm at triage time: `2026.2.22-2`
Technical Details
`workspaceOnly` was enforced in sandbox file tools and `apply_patch`, but not propagated/enforced for `image` sandbox path resolution. The fix threads `workspaceOnly` into image-tool construction and asserts sandbox-root containment before loading media bytes.

OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
