CVE-2026-33574 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.8 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the skills download installer that validates the tools root lexically but reuses the mutable path during archive download and copy operations. A local attacker can rebind the tools-root path between validation and final write to redirect the installer outside the intended tools directory.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.8. The issue arises in the skills download installer, which validates the tools root lexically but then reuses the mutable path during the download and copying of archives. This flaw allows a local attacker to rebind the tools-root path between validation and the final write, redirecting the installer to write outside the intended tools directory.
Users can update to OpenClaw version 2026.3.8 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
