CVE-2026-32033
March 19, 2026
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.24 contain a path traversal vulnerability where @-prefixed absolute paths bypass workspace-only file-system boundary validation due to canonicalization mismatch. Attackers can exploit this by crafting @-prefixed paths like @/etc/passwd to read files outside the intended workspace boundary when tools.fs.workspaceOnly is enabled.
Affected Packages
openclaw (NPM):
Affected version(s) >=0.0.1 <2026.2.24
Fix Suggestion:
Update to version 2026.2.24
