CVE-2026-32055
OpenClaw < 2026.2.26 - Workspace Path Boundary Bypass via Non-existent Symlink
CVSS Score
7.6
EPSS Score
0.1%
EPSS Percentile
19th
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.26 contain a path traversal vulnerability in workspace boundary validation that allows attackers to write files outside the workspace through in-workspace symlinks pointing to non-existent out-of-root targets. The vulnerability exists because the boundary check improperly resolves aliases, permitting the first write operation to escape the workspace boundary and create files in arbitrary locations.
