{"id":"CVE-2026-26329","summary":"OpenClaw has a path traversal in browser upload allows local file read","details":"OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to version 2026.2.14, authenticated attackers can read arbitrary files from the Gateway host by supplying absolute paths or path traversal sequences to the browser tool's `upload` action. The server passed these paths to Playwright's `setInputFiles()` APIs without restricting them to a safe root. An attacker must reach the Gateway HTTP surface (or otherwise invoke the same browser control hook endpoints); present valid Gateway auth (bearer token / password), as required by the Gateway configuration (In common default setups, the Gateway binds to loopback and the onboarding wizard generates a gateway token even for loopback); and have the `browser` tool permitted by tool policy for the target session/context (and have browser support enabled). If an operator exposes the Gateway beyond loopback (LAN/tailnet/custom bind, reverse proxy, tunnels, etc.), the impact increases accordingly. Starting in version 2026.2.14, the upload paths are now confined to OpenClaw's temp uploads root (`DEFAULT_UPLOAD_DIR`) and traversal/escape paths are rejected.","aliases":["GHSA-cv7m-c9jx-vg7q"],"modified":"2026-04-02T13:19:15.693146Z","published":"2026-02-19T23:06:37.962Z","database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/26xxx/CVE-2026-26329.json","cwe_ids":["CWE-22"],"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/releases/tag/v2026.2.14"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/26xxx/CVE-2026-26329.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-cv7m-c9jx-vg7q"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-26329"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/3aa94afcfd12104c683c9cad81faf434d0dadf87"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"b5ab92eef4e4f6099c98817e0917c99ec9e03045"}]}],"versions":["v0.1.0","v0.1.1","v0.1.2","v0.1.3","v1.0.4","v1.1.0","v1.2.0","v1.2.1","v1.2.2","v1.3.0","v2.0.0-beta1","v2.0.0-beta2","v2.0.0-beta3","v2.0.0-beta4","v2.0.0-beta5","v2026.1.10","v2026.1.11","v2026.1.11-1","v2026.1.11-2","v2026.1.11-3","v2026.1.12","v2026.1.12-2","v2026.1.13","v2026.1.14-1","v2026.1.15","v2026.1.16-2","v2026.1.20","v2026.1.21","v2026.1.22","v2026.1.23","v2026.1.24","v2026.1.24-1","v2026.1.29","v2026.1.30","v2026.1.5","v2026.1.5-1","v2026.1.5-2","v2026.1.5-3","v2026.1.8","v2026.1.9","v2026.2.1","v2026.2.12","v2026.2.13","v2026.2.2","v2026.2.3","v2026.2.6","v2026.2.6-1","v2026.2.6-2","v2026.2.6-3","v2026.2.9"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-26329.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
