Medium (4.8) in openclaw openclaw. EPSS 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in openclaw 2026.2.22.
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the static file handler that follows symbolic links, allowing out-of-root file reads. Attackers can place symlinks under the Control UI root directory to bypass directory confinement checks and read arbitrary files outside the intended root.
