{"id":"GHSA-9f79-7pw8-3fj8","summary":"Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw: workspace path guard bypass on non-existent out-of-root symlink leaf","details":"## Duplicate Advisory\n\nThis advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-mgrq-9f93-wpp5. This link is maintained to preserve external references.\n\n## Original Description\nOpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.26 contain a path traversal vulnerability in workspace boundary validation that allows attackers to write files outside the workspace through in-workspace symlinks pointing to non-existent out-of-root targets. The vulnerability exists because the boundary check improperly resolves aliases, permitting the first write operation to escape the workspace boundary and create files in arbitrary locations.","modified":"2026-03-24T19:16:27.916393Z","published":"2026-03-21T03:31:14Z","withdrawn":"2026-03-24T19:05:53Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-22"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-24T19:05:53Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-03-21T01:17:08Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-mgrq-9f93-wpp5"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32055"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/1aef45bc060b28a0af45a67dc66acd36aef763c9"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/46eba86b45e9db05b7b792e914c4fe0de1b40a23"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-workspace-path-boundary-bypass-via-non-existent-symlink"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"2026.2.25"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-9f79-7pw8-3fj8/GHSA-9f79-7pw8-3fj8.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X"}]}
