Title

OpenClaw < 2026.2.13 - Path Traversal in Trace and Download Output Paths

Summary

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.13 contain a vulnerability in the browser control API in which it accepts user-supplied output paths for trace and download files without consistently constraining writes to temporary directories. Attackers with API access can exploit path traversal in POST /trace/stop, POST /wait/download, and POST /download endpoints to write files outside intended temp roots.

BREW-OPENCLAW-CLI-CVE-20… (GHSA-GQ9C-WG68-GWJ2)

Vulnerability from osv_homebrew – Published: 2026-08-13 17:21 – Updated: 2026-11-13 09:11 – Source website

Summary

OpenClaw has a path traversal in browser trace/download output paths may allow arbitrary file writes

Details

Summary

OpenClaw’s browser control API accepted user-supplied output paths for trace/download files without consistently constraining writes to OpenClaw-managed temporary directories.

## Impact

If an attacker can access the browser control API, they could attempt to write trace/download output files outside intended temp roots, depending on process filesystem permissions.

## Affected versions

openclaw < 2026.2.13

## Fixed versions

openclaw >= 2026.2.13

## Remediation

Upgrade to 2026.2.13 or later.

## What changed

The fix constrains output paths for:

POST /trace/stop
POST /wait/download
POST /download

All three now enforce OpenClaw temp-root boundaries and reject traversal/escape paths.

## Credits

Thanks to Adnan Jakati (@jackhax) of Praetorian for responsible disclosure.

Fix shipped in PR #15652 and merged to main on February 13, 2026 (7f0489e4731c8d965d78d6eac4a60312e46a9426).

Fix commit 7f0489e4731c8d965d78d6eac4a60312e46a9426 confirmed on main and in v2026.2.14. Upgrade to openclaw >= 2026.2.13.

GHSA-GQ9C-WG68-GWJ2

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-18 17:38 – Updated: 2026-03-06 01:04

Summary

OpenClaw has a path traversal in browser trace/download output paths may allow arbitrary file writes

Details

Summary

OpenClaw’s browser control API accepted user-supplied output paths for trace/download files without consistently constraining writes to OpenClaw-managed temporary directories.

## Impact

If an attacker can access the browser control API, they could attempt to write trace/download output files outside intended temp roots, depending on process filesystem permissions.

## Affected versions

openclaw < 2026.2.13

## Fixed versions

openclaw >= 2026.2.13

## Remediation

Upgrade to 2026.2.13 or later.

## What changed

The fix constrains output paths for:

POST /trace/stop
POST /wait/download
POST /download

All three now enforce OpenClaw temp-root boundaries and reject traversal/escape paths.

## Credits

Thanks to Adnan Jakati (@jackhax) of Praetorian for responsible disclosure.

Fix shipped in PR #15652 and merged to main on February 13, 2026 (7f0489e4731c8d965d78d6eac4a60312e46a9426).

Fix commit 7f0489e4731c8d965d78d6eac4a60312e46a9426 confirmed on main and in v2026.2.14. Upgrade to openclaw >= 2026.2.13.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
