CVE-2026-27523
March 18, 2026
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.24 contain a sandbox bind validation vulnerability allowing attackers to bypass allowed-root and blocked-path checks via symlinked parent directories with non-existent leaf paths. Attackers can craft bind source paths that appear within allowed roots but resolve outside sandbox boundaries once missing leaf components are created, weakening bind-source isolation enforcement.
Affected Packages
openclaw (NPM):
Affected version(s) >=0.0.1 <2026.2.24
Fix Suggestion:
Update to version 2026.2.24
