Overview
openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Behavior Order: Validate Before Canonicalize via the boundary validation process for @-prefixed absolute paths when tools.fs.workspaceOnly is set to true. An attacker can access files outside the intended workspace boundary by supplying specially crafted absolute paths that bypass validation checks. This is only exploitable if the non-default configuration tools.fs.workspaceOnly=true is enabled and the sandbox/tooling configuration allows such path handling.
