MEDIUM

OpenClaw < 2026.2.23 - Sandbox Bypass in apply_patch Tool via Workspace-Only Check Bypass

Title source: cna
STIX 2.1

Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.23 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the experimental apply_patch tool that allows attackers with sandbox access to modify files outside the workspace directory by exploiting inconsistent enforcement of workspace-only checks on mounted paths. Attackers can use apply_patch operations on writable mounts outside the workspace root to access and modify arbitrary files on the system.
