Description

Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw: stageSandboxMedia destination symlink traversal can overwrite files outside sandbox workspace

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-cfvj-7rx7-fc7c. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.2 contain a vulnerability in the stageSandboxMedia function in which it fails to validate destination symlinks during media staging, allowing writes to follow symlinks outside the sandbox workspace. Attackers can exploit this by placing symlinks in the media/inbound directory to overwrite arbitrary files on the host system outside sandbox boundaries.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity high, availability low.

Weakness class

GHSA-2cwr-f5hx-gg3w is classified as CWE-59: Link Following. The software follows symbolic or hard links without verifying their target, so a planted link can redirect an operation to a sensitive file.

Affected software

GHSA-2cwr-f5hx-gg3w is recorded against 1 package.
