Vulnerability in openclaw (CVE-2026-44112)

Summary

Vulnerability in openclaw (CVE-2026-44112). Data can be tampered with by attackers. Mitigation: upgrade to 2026.4.22 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Summary

OpenShell FS bridge writes stay pinned to the sandbox mount root

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected versions: <= 2026.4.21
  • Fixed version: 2026.4.22

Impact

A time-of-check/time-of-use race around OpenShell sandbox filesystem writes could let a symlink swap redirect a write outside the intended local mount root.

Fix

OpenShell write paths now validate the canonical target against the mount root, reject unsafe symlink parents and symlink leaves for writes, and use root-scoped write helpers before syncing to the remote sandbox.

Fix Commit(s)

Verification

  • The fix commit is contained in the public v2026.4.22 tag.
  • openclaw@2026.4.22 is published on npm and the compiled package contains the fix.
  • Focused regression coverage for this path passed before publication.

Thanks @VladimirEliTokarev for reporting.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify 
    grep -r 'openclaw' . | grep -v node_modules
