Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in OpenClaw up to 2026.2.23. It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects an unknown part. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.24 contain a path traversal vulnerability where @-prefixed absolute paths bypass workspace-only file-system boundary validation due to canonicalization mismatch. Attackers can exploit this by crafting @-prefixed paths like @/etc/passwd to read files outside the intended workspace boundary when tools.fs.workspaceOnly is enabled.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-32033 since 03/10/2026. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The attack can be initiated remotely.
