OpenClaw's skills download installer validated the intended per-skill tools root lexically, but later reused that mutable path while downloading and copying the archive into place. If a local attacker could rebind that tools-root path between validation and the final write, the installer could be redirected to write outside the intended tools directory. The fix pins the canonical per-skill tools root immediately after validation and derives later download/copy paths from that canonical root, so rebinding the lexical path fails closed instead of redirecting the write. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published vulnerable version: `2026.3.7` - Affected range: `<= 2026.3.7` - Fixed in released version: `2026.3.8` ## Fix Commit(s) - `9abf014f3502009faf9c73df5ca2cff719e54639` ## Release Verification - Verified fixed in GitHub release `v2026.3.8` published on March 9, 2026. - Verified `npm view openclaw version` resolves to `2026.3.8`. - Verified the release contains the regression test covering tools-root rebinding and that the test passes against the `v2026.3.8` tree. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
