{"id":"GHSA-2rqg-gjgv-84jm","summary":"OpenClaw: Gateway `agent` calls could override the workspace boundary","details":"### Summary\n\nThe public gateway `agent` RPC allowed an authenticated operator with `operator.write` to supply attacker-controlled `spawnedBy` and `workspaceDir` values. That let the caller re-root the agent run outside its configured workspace boundary.\n\n### Impact\n\nA non-owner operator could escape the intended workspace boundary and run normal file and exec tools from an arbitrary process-accessible directory.\n\n### Affected versions\n\n`openclaw` `\u003c= 2026.3.8`\n\n### Patch\n\nFixed in `openclaw` `2026.3.11` and included in later releases such as `2026.3.12`. The gateway now enforces the configured workspace boundary for agent runs regardless of caller-supplied overrides.","aliases":["CVE-2026-33573"],"modified":"2026-07-08T08:11:51.767746891Z","published":"2026-03-13T20:55:30Z","database_specific":{"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-13T20:55:30Z","nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-668"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-2rqg-gjgv-84jm"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/releases/tag/v2026.3.11"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.3.11"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-2rqg-gjgv-84jm/GHSA-2rqg-gjgv-84jm.json","last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 2026.3.8"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
