A workspace-only file-system guard mismatch allowed `@`-prefixed absolute paths to bypass boundary validation in some tool path checks. ### Impact When `tools.fs.workspaceOnly=true`, certain `@`-prefixed absolute paths (for example `@/etc/passwd`) could be validated before canonicalization while runtime path handling normalized the prefix differently. In affected code paths this could permit reads outside the intended workspace boundary. Per `SECURITY.md`, OpenClaw is primarily a personal-assistant runtime with trusted-user assumptions, and this path is gated behind non-default sandbox/tooling configuration. That reduces practical exposure, but the bypass is still a security bug and is fixed. ### Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published at triage time: `2026.2.23` - Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.23` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.2.24` ### Fix Commit(s) - `9ef0fc2ff8fa7b145d1e746d6eb030b1bf692260` OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
