Local File Inclusion in OpenClaw BlueBubbles Extension Allows Data Exposure

Publication date: 2026-03-05

Last updated on: 2026-03-11

Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.14 contain a local file inclusion vulnerability in BlueBubbles extension (must be installed and enabled) media path handling that allows attackers to read arbitrary files from the local filesystem. The sendBlueBubblesMedia function fails to validate mediaPath parameters against an allowlist, enabling attackers to request sensitive files like /etc/passwd and exfiltrate them as media attachments.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.14 within the BlueBubbles extension, which must be installed and enabled. It is a local file inclusion vulnerability caused by improper validation of mediaPath parameters in the sendBlueBubblesMedia function. Because the function does not check these parameters against an allowlist, attackers can exploit this flaw to read arbitrary files from the local filesystem.

Specifically, attackers can request sensitive files such as /etc/passwd and exfiltrate them as media attachments, potentially exposing confidential system information.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can have a significant impact by allowing attackers to read sensitive files on the local system without proper authorization. This can lead to exposure of confidential information, such as user account details or system configuration files.

Since the vulnerability allows arbitrary file reading, it could be used as a stepping stone for further attacks or data exfiltration, compromising system security and privacy.
