AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability exists in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.19 and involves a path traversal issue in the stageSandboxMedia function. When iMessage remote attachment fetching is enabled, this function accepts arbitrary absolute paths. An attacker who can manipulate the attachment path metadata can exploit this flaw to disclose files that are readable by the OpenClaw process on the configured remote host via SCP.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized disclosure of files on the remote host that the OpenClaw process has read access to. This means an attacker could potentially access sensitive or confidential information by tampering with attachment path metadata, exploiting the path traversal flaw to retrieve files via SCP.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
