OpenClaw: OpenShell FS bridge writes stay pinned to the sandbox mount root
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
OpenShell FS bridge writes stay pinned to the sandbox mount root
## 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 writes could let a symlink swap redirect a write outside the intended local mount root.
## Fix
OpenShell write paths now validate the canonical target against the mount root, reject unsafe symlink parents and symlink leaves for writes, and use root-scoped write helpers before syncing to the remote sandbox.
## Fix Commit(s)
- 7be82d4fd1193bcb7e44ee38838f00bf924ffa76
## 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.
