Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in OpenClaw versions before 2026.3.2 and involves a symlink traversal issue in the stageSandboxMedia component.

Attackers can exploit unvalidated destination paths during media or inbound writes to follow symbolic links (symlinks) and overwrite files outside the intended sandbox workspace.

This means that instead of restricting file writes to a safe sandbox area, the vulnerability allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files on the host system.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can allow an attacker with limited privileges to overwrite important files outside the sandbox environment.

This can lead to integrity issues where critical system or application files are modified or replaced, potentially causing system instability, unauthorized code execution, or denial of service.

Since the vulnerability does not impact confidentiality but affects integrity and availability, it can disrupt normal operations or enable further attacks.
