CVE-2026-53825 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.4.7 contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the memory-wiki ingest feature that allows authenticated Gateway operators with operator.write scope to read local files outside intended ingest sources. Attackers with operator.write access can specify arbitrary local file paths to import file content into wiki memory, bypassing access restrictions.
A vulnerability allowing arbitrary file read has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.4.7. This issue resides in the memory-wiki ingest feature, where authenticated Gateway operators with operator.write scope can access local files outside the designated ingest sources. The vulnerability arises because these operators can specify any local file path to import content into wiki memory, thereby circumventing access restrictions.
Users are advised to update to OpenClaw version 2026.4.7 or later. Until then, it is recommended to limit memory-wiki write access to trusted operators and disable the affected feature when not in use.
