OpenClaw < 2026.2.14 - Path Traversal in apply_patch via Crafted Paths

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 10.03.2026 Published: 11.03.2026 Updated: 11.03.2026

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.14 contain a path traversal vulnerability in apply_patch that allows attackers to write or delete files outside the configured workspace directory. When apply_patch is enabled without filesystem sandbox containment, attackers can exploit crafted paths including directory traversal sequences or absolute paths to escape workspace boundaries and modify arbitrary files.
