    <title>GHSA-xmv6-r34m-62p4 — OpenClaw: Sandbox media fallback tmp symlink alias bypass allows host file reads outside sandboxRoot</title>

      <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p><strong>Affected:</strong> npm: openclaw</p>
<p>### Summary
A sandbox path validation bypass in `openclaw` allows host file reads outside `sandboxRoot` via the media path fallback tmp flow when the fallback tmp root is a symlink alias.</p>
<p>### Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `npm openclaw`
- Affected versions: `&lt;= 2026.2.24`
- Latest published npm version at triage time (February 26, 2026): `2026.2.24`
- Patched version : `2026.2.25`</p>
<p>### Details
When `/tmp/openclaw` is unavailable or unsafe, `resolvePreferredOpenClawTmpDir()` in `src/infra/tmp-openclaw-dir.ts` fell back to `os.tmpdir()/openclaw-&lt;uid&gt;` without verifying that fallback path was a trusted non-symlink directory.</p>
<p>`resolveSandboxedMediaSource()` (`src/agents/sandbox-paths.ts`) allows absolute tmp media paths under the OpenClaw tmp root using lexical containment and alias checks. If the fallback tmp root is a symlink alias (for example to `/`), inputs like `$TMPDIR/openclaw-&lt;uid&gt;/etc/passwd` can pass validation and resolve to host files outside `sandboxRoot`.</p>
<p>### Impact
This can break sandbox media path confinement and permit unauthorized host file reads (confidentiality impact).</p>
<p>### Reproduction (high level)
1. Force resolver fallback (make `/tmp/openclaw` unavailable/invalid).
2. Make fallback root (`$TMPDIR/openclaw-&lt;uid&gt;`) a symlink alias to `/`.
3. Submit media path under fallback root (for example `$TMPDIR/openclaw-&lt;uid&gt;/etc/passwd`).
4. Observe accepted path and read outside `sandboxRoot`.</p>
