Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-09 18:31 – Updated: 2026-10-09 18:31

Details

LobsterAI 2026.5.27 through 2026.9.23 contains an external control of file path vulnerability in the skills:delete IPC handler that trusts the openclawSourceDir value from a skill's _meta.json during uninstall. Attackers who convince a user to install a crafted skill can make uninstallation recursively delete arbitrary user-writable directories, such as the home directory, since the security scanner never inspects _meta.json.

Severity

7.1 (High)


                  
                    CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H
