CVE-2026-27008
February 19, 2026
OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to version 2026.2.15, 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. Version 2026.2.15 contains a fix for the issue.
