NVD description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.19 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the Feishu media download flow where untrusted media keys are interpolated directly into temporary file paths in extensions/feishu/src/media.ts. An attacker who can control Feishu media key values returned to the client can use traversal segments to escape os.tmpdir() and write arbitrary files within the OpenClaw process permissions.
What to do
- Upgrade OpenClaw to
2026.2.19or later. - Do not expose the component's API or UI to the internet without authentication in front of it.
