OpenClaw has browser trace/download path symlink escape in temp output handling
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
Browser trace/download output path handling allowed symlink-root and symlink-parent escapes from the managed temp root.
### Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw` (npm)
- Latest published npm version: `2026.2.24`
- Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.24`
- Planned patched release: `2026.2.25`
### Impact
An attacker with relevant local foothold and ability to influence output paths could route writes outside the intended temp root via symlink traversal, leading to arbitrary file overwrite.
### Fix Commit(s)
- `496a76c03ba85e15ea715e5a583e498ae04d36e3`
### Release Process Note
`patched_versions` is pre-set to the release (`2026.2.25`) so once npm `2026.2.25` is published, the advisory is published.
OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
