CVE-2026-35668 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains a path traversal vulnerability in sandbox enforcement allowing sandboxed agents to read arbitrary files from other agents' workspaces via unnormalized mediaUrl or fileUrl parameter keys. Attackers can exploit incomplete parameter validation in normalizeSandboxMediaParams and missing mediaLocalRoots context to access sensitive files including API keys and configuration data outside designated sandbox roots.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.24. This vulnerability exists in the sandbox enforcement mechanism, allowing sandboxed agents to read arbitrary files from the workspaces of other agents. The issue arises from unnormalized 'mediaUrl' and 'fileUrl' parameter keys, which bypass proper validation and normalization processes. As a result, sensitive files such as API keys and configuration data can be accessed from outside the designated sandbox roots.
Users are advised to update OpenClaw to version 2026.3.24 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
