Summary
OpenClaw: Image Tool `tools.fs.workspaceOnly` Bypass via Sandbox Bridge Mounts
Details

Summary

The image tool did not fully honor the tools.fs.workspaceOnly filesystem boundary. In affected releases, image-path resolution could still traverse sandbox bridge mounts outside the workspace and read files from mounted directories that the other file tools would reject.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected: < 2026.3.2
  • Fixed: >= 2026.3.2
  • Latest released tags checked: v2026.3.23 (ccfeecb6887cd97937e33a71877ad512741e82b2) and v2026.3.23-2 (630f1479c44f78484dfa21bb407cbe6f171dac87)
  • Latest published npm version checked: 2026.3.23-2

Fix Commit(s)

  • dd9d9c1c609dcb4579f9e57bd7b5c879d0146b53
  • 14baadda2c456f3cf749f1f97e8678746a34a7f4

Release Status

The complete fix shipped in v2026.3.2 and remains present in v2026.3.23 and v2026.3.23-2.

Code-Level Confirmation

  • src/agents/openclaw-tools.ts now passes fsPolicy into createImageTool, so the image tool receives the same workspace-only policy input as the other filesystem tools.
  • src/agents/tools/image-tool.ts, src/agents/tools/media-tool-shared.ts, and src/agents/sandbox-media-paths.ts now restrict local roots and sandbox-bridge resolution to the workspace when tools.fs.workspaceOnly is enabled.

OpenClaw thanks @YLChen-007 for reporting.

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Nomenclature

  • Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.

  • Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
  • Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
  • Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

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.
