OpenClaw 2026.4.7 < 2026.4.15 - Arbitrary File Read via Unvalidated Tool-Result Media Paths

Type: advisorySources: OSV

OpenClaw versions 2026.4.7 before 2026.4.15 fail to enforce local-root containment on tool-result media paths, allowing arbitrary local and UNC file access. Attackers can craft malicious tool-result media references to trigger host-side file reads or Windows network path access, potentially disclosing sensitive files or exposing credentials.
