CVE-2026-44112 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.4.22 contains a time-of-check/time-of-use race condition in OpenShell sandbox filesystem writes that allows attackers to redirect writes outside the intended mount root. Attackers can exploit symlink swaps during filesystem operations to bypass sandbox restrictions and write files outside the local mount root.
A time-of-check/time-of-use race condition has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.4.22, specifically within the OpenShell sandbox filesystem write operations. This vulnerability allows attackers to manipulate symlinks during filesystem processes, redirecting writes outside the designated mount root. As a result, files can be written beyond the local mount root, bypassing sandbox restrictions.
Users can update to OpenClaw version 2026.4.22 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
