CVE-2026-33581 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains a sandbox bypass vulnerability in the message tool that allows attackers to read arbitrary local files by using mediaUrl and fileUrl alias parameters that bypass localRoots validation. Remote attackers can exploit this by routing file requests through unvalidated alias parameters to access files outside the intended sandbox directory.
A sandbox bypass vulnerability has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.24. This vulnerability exists in the message tool, where the mediaUrl and fileUrl alias parameters can be used to read arbitrary local files. The issue arises because these alias parameters bypass the localRoots validation, allowing remote attackers to access files outside the designated sandbox directory.
Users can update to OpenClaw version 2026.3.24 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
