{"id":"CVE-2026-35632","summary":"OpenClaw \u003c= 2026.2.22 - Symlink Traversal via IDENTITY.md appendFile in agents.create/update","details":"OpenClaw through 2026.2.22 contains a symlink traversal vulnerability in agents.create and agents.update handlers that use fs.appendFile on IDENTITY.md without symlink containment checks. Attackers with workspace access can plant symlinks to append attacker-controlled content to arbitrary files, enabling remote code execution via crontab injection or unauthorized access via SSH key manipulation.","aliases":["GHSA-7xr2-q9vf-x4r5"],"modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:09.116071345Z","published":"2026-04-09T21:27:02.813Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-61"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/35xxx/CVE-2026-35632.json","cna_assigner":"VulnCheck"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/35xxx/CVE-2026-35632.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-7xr2-q9vf-x4r5"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35632"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-symlink-traversal-via-identity-md-appendfile-in-agents-create-update"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"a54dc7fe80fc02e2a02e6901668a468fcb0cf8b4"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"2026.2.22"}],"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","CPE_RANGE"],"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:openclaw:openclaw:*:*:*:*:*:node.js:*:*"}}],"versions":["v2026.2.22","v2026.2.22-beta.1","v2026.2.21","v2026.2.21-beta.1","v2026.2.19-beta.1","v2026.2.19","v2026.2.17","v2026.2.15-beta.1","v2026.2.14","v2026.2.13","v2026.2.12","v2026.2.9","v2026.2.6-3","v2026.2.6-2","v2026.2.6-1","v2026.2.6","v2026.2.3","v2026.2.2","v2026.2.1","v2026.1.30","v2026.1.29","v2026.1.24-1","v2026.1.24","v2026.1.23","v2026.1.22","v2026.1.21","v2026.1.20","v2026.1.16-2","v2026.1.15","v2026.1.14-1","v2026.1.13","v2026.1.12-2","v2026.1.12","v2026.1.11-3","v2026.1.11-2","v2026.1.11-1","v2026.1.11","v2026.1.10","v2026.1.9","v2026.1.8","v2026.1.5-3","v2026.1.5-2","v2026.1.5-1","v2026.1.5","v2.0.0-beta5","v2.0.0-beta4","v2.0.0-beta3","v2.0.0-beta2","v2.0.0-beta1","v1.3.0","v1.2.2","v1.2.1","v1.2.0","v1.1.0","v1.0.4","v0.1.3","v0.1.2","v0.1.1","v0.1.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-35632.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
