NVD description
OpenClaw versions 2026.4.7 before 2026.4.15 fail to enforce local-root containment on tool-result media paths, allowing arbitrary local and UNC file access. Attackers can craft malicious tool-result media references to trigger host-side file reads or Windows network path access, potentially disclosing sensitive files or exposing credentials.
What to do
- Upgrade OpenClaw to
2026.4.15or later. - Do not expose the component's API or UI to the internet without authentication in front of it.
