CVE-2026-32033

A workspace-only file-system guard mismatch allowed `@`-prefixed absolute paths to bypass boundary validation in some tool path checks. ### Impact When `tools.fs.workspaceOnly=true`, certain `@`-prefixed absolute paths (for example `@/etc/passwd`) could be validated before canonicalization while runtime path handling normalized the prefix differently. In affected code paths this could permit reads outside the intended workspace boundary. Per `SECURITY.md`, OpenClaw is primarily a personal-assistant runtime with trusted-user assumptions, and this path is gated behind non-default sandbox/tooling configuration. That reduces practical exposure, but the bypass is still a security bug and is fixed. ### Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published at triage time: `2026.2.23` - Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.23` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.2.24` ### Fix Commit(s) - `9ef0fc2ff8fa7b145d1e746d6eb030b1bf692260` OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.

Versiones de OpenClaw anteriores a 2026.2.24 contienen una vulnerabilidad de salto de ruta donde las rutas absolutas con prefijo '@' eluden la validación de límites del sistema de archivos solo para el espacio de trabajo debido a una falta de coincidencia en la canonización. Los atacantes pueden explotar esto creando rutas con prefijo '@' como @/etc /passwd para leer archivos fuera del límite del espacio de trabajo previsto cuando tools.fs.workspaceOnly está habilitado.
