OpenClaw: Windows media loaders accepted remote-host file URLs before local path validation
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
Windows local-media handling accepted remote-host file URLs and UNC-style paths before local-path validation, so network-hosted file targets could be treated as local content.
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw` (npm)
- Affected: < 2026.3.22
- Fixed: >= 2026.3.22
- Latest released tag checked: `v2026.3.23-2` (`630f1479c44f78484dfa21bb407cbe6f171dac87`)
- Latest published npm version checked: `2026.3.23-2`
## Fix Commit(s)
- `4fd7feb0fd4ec16c48ed983980dba79a09b3aaf5`
- `93880717f1cd34feaa45e74e939b7a5256288901`
## Release Status
The fix shipped in `v2026.3.22` and remains present in `v2026.3.23` and `v2026.3.23-2`.
## Code-Level Confirmation
- src/infra/local-file-access.ts now rejects remote-host file: URLs and UNC/network paths as non-local input.
- src/media/web-media.ts, src/media-understanding/attachments.normalize.ts, and src/agents/sandbox-paths.ts all route through the shared local-file guard.
OpenClaw thanks @RacerZ-fighting, @Fushuling for reporting.
