      <title>CVE-2026-32020 — OpenClaw &lt; 2026.2.22 - Arbitrary File Read via Symlink Following in Static File Handler</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-32020</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; OpenClaw&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the static file handler that follows symbolic links, allowing out-of-root file reads. Attackers can place symlinks under the Control UI root directory to bypass directory confinement checks and read arbitrary files outside the intended root.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>GHSA-5ghc-98wh-gwwf — OpenClaw's Control UI Static File Handler Follows Symlinks and Allows Out-of-Root File Read</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/ghsa-5ghc-98wh-gwwf</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; npm: openclaw&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Summary
The Control UI static file handler previously validated asset paths lexically and then served files with APIs that follow symbolic links. A symlink placed under the Control UI root could cause out-of-root file reads.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw` (npm)
- Latest published version observed: `2026.2.21-2`
- Affected versions: `&amp;lt;=2026.2.21-2`
- Planned fixed release version: `2026.2.22`&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Technical Details
The vulnerable flow was in `src/gateway/control-ui.ts`, where `path.join(...)` + string-prefix checks were followed by file reads that resolved symlinks. This allowed directory-confinement bypasses when symlinks existed inside the Control UI root.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fix now enforces realpath containment and verifies file identity before serving Control UI assets and SPA fallback `index.html`.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Impact
- Vulnerability type: path traversal / external file exposure via symlink following.
- Primary impact: confidentiality (out-of-root file read).
- Severity guidance: low in supported trusted-operator deployments; can be higher in unsupported shared-writable setups.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Fix Commit(s)
- `7c500ff6236fa087ec1ec88696ca9f6881e90dc5`&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Release Process Note
`patched_versions` is pre-set to the planned next release (`2026.2.22`). After npm release is available, publish the advisory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
