BREW-OPENCLAW-CLI-GHSA-7… (GHSA-7XMQ-G46G-F8PV)
Vulnerability from osv_homebrew – Published: 2026-08-13 17:21 – Updated: 2026-10-20 08:59 – Source websiteSummary
Sandbox media handling had a time-of-check/time-of-use gap: media paths could be validated first and read later through a separate path. A symlink retarget between those steps could cause reads outside sandboxRoot.
Impact
Affected versions could permit host file reads outside the intended sandbox root in media attachment/image flows.
Fix
Media reads now use consolidated root-scoped, boundary-safe read paths at use time, removing check/use drift across call sites.
