OpenClaw: OpenShell FS bridge reads pin and verify the opened file before returning bytes
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
OpenShell FS bridge reads pin and verify the opened file before returning bytes
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: openclaw (npm)
- Affected versions: <= 2026.4.21
- Fixed version: 2026.4.22
## Impact
A time-of-check/time-of-use race around OpenShell sandbox filesystem reads could let a symlink swap cause bytes outside the intended mount root to be read.
## Fix
OpenShell reads now open the file with no-follow semantics where available, validate the pinned file descriptor against the canonical mount root, reject unsafe hardlink/symlink cases, and use a strict fallback ancestor walk on platforms without fd-path readback.
## Fix Commit(s)
- 95119017c847c737bd113f0bff728c4666d79c45
## Verification
- The fix commit is contained in the public v2026.4.22 tag.
- [email protected] is published on npm and the compiled package contains the fix.
- Focused regression coverage for this path passed before publication.
Thanks @VladimirEliTokarev for reporting.
