OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25 contain a symlink traversal vulnerability in browser trace and download output path handling that allows local attackers to escape the managed temp root directory. An attacker with local access can create symlinks to route file writes outside the intended temp directory, enabling arbitrary file overwrite on the affected system.

- GHSA-36h3-7c54-j27rOpenClaw has browser trace/download path symlink escape in temp output handling2026-03-02ghsa · osvUS
### Summary Browser trace/download output path handling allowed symlink-root and symlink-parent escapes from the managed temp root. ### Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published npm version: `2026.2.24` - Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.24` - Planned patched release: `2026.2.25` ### Impact An attacker with relevant local foothold and ability to influence output paths could route writes outside the intended temp root via symlink traversal, leading to arbitrary file overwrite. ### Fix Commit(s) - `496a76c03ba85e15ea715e5a583e498ae04d36e3` ### Release Process Note `patched_versions` is pre-set to the release (`2026.2.25`) so once npm `2026.2.25` is published, the advisory is published. OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
