GHSA-h7f7-89mm-pqh6
OpenClaw hardened the skill download target directory validation
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw` (npm)
- Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.14`
- Fixed in: planned release `2026.2.15`
## Impact
A bug in `download` skill installation allowed `targetDir` values from skill frontmatter to resolve outside the per-skill tools directory if not strictly validated.
In the admin-only `skills.install` flow, this could write files outside the intended install sandbox.
## Fix Commit(s)
- 2363e1b08 fix(security): restrict skill download target paths
- b6305e972 test(skills): split installer security coverage
## Acknowledgement
Thanks @Adam55A-code for reporting.
