OpenClaw session transcript files were created without forced user-only permissions

view advisory published 2026-03-16Licence: CC-BY-4.0

`openclaw` created new session transcript JSONL files with overly broad default permissions in affected releases. On multi-user hosts, other local users or processes could read transcript contents, including secrets that might appear in tool output. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (`npm`) - Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.15` - First fixed version: `2026.2.17` - Current latest npm release checked during verification: `2026.3.13` (not affected) ## Impact Session transcript JSONL files are created under the local OpenClaw session store. In affected releases, newly created transcript files did not force user-only permissions, so transcript contents could be readable by other local users depending on the host environment and umask behavior. ## Fix New transcript files are now created with `0o600` permissions. Existing transcript permission drift is also remediated by the security audit fix flow. Verified in code: - `src/config/sessions/transcript.ts:82` writes new transcript files with `mode: 0o600` - `src/config/sessions/sessions.test.ts:303` includes regression coverage asserting `0o600` ## Fix Commit(s) - `095d522099653367e1b76fa5bb09d4ddf7c8a57c` ## Release Note This fix first shipped in `2026.2.17` and is present in the current npm release `2026.3.13`.
