Summary
OpenClaw hardened the skill download target directory validation
Details
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected versions:
<= 2026.2.14 - Fixed in: planned release
2026.2.15
Impact
A bug in download skill installation allowed targetDir values from skill frontmatter to resolve outside the per-skill tools directory if not strictly validated.
In the admin-only skills.install flow, this could write files outside the intended install sandbox.
Fix Commit(s)
- 2363e1b08 fix(security): restrict skill download target paths
- b6305e972 test(skills): split installer security coverage
Acknowledgement
Thanks @Adam55A-code for reporting.
