{"id":"GHSA-h9xm-j4qg-fvpg","summary":"OpenClaw: Experimental apply_patch may bypass workspace-only checks in opt-in sandbox mounts (off by default)","details":"### Summary\nIn some opt-in sandbox configurations, the **experimental** `apply_patch` tool did not consistently apply workspace-only checks to mounted paths (for example `/agent/...`).\n\n### Impact\nThis does **not** affect default installs.\n\nDefault posture:\n- `agents.defaults.sandbox.mode=off` (sandbox disabled by default)\n- `tools.exec.applyPatch.enabled=false` (experimental tool disabled by default)\n\nThis behavior applies only when all of the following are enabled/configured:\n- sandbox mode,\n- experimental `apply_patch`,\n- workspace-only expectations (`tools.fs.workspaceOnly=true` and/or `tools.exec.applyPatch.workspaceOnly=true`),\n- and writable mounts outside workspace.\n\nUnder that opt-in setup, `apply_patch` operations could target mounted paths outside the workspace root.\n\n### Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Affected published versions: `\u003c= 2026.2.22-2`\n- Fixed in code on `main`: commit `6634030be31e1a1842967df046c2f2e47490e6bf`\n- Patched release: `2026.2.23`\n\n### Technical Details\nIn the sandbox path flow, `apply_patch` used `sandbox.bridge.resolvePath(...)` without applying the same workspace-root assertion used by other filesystem tools. The fix makes `apply_patch` follow the same workspace-only enforcement for sandbox-resolved paths (unless explicitly disabled with `tools.exec.applyPatch.workspaceOnly=false`).\n\n### Fix Commit(s)\n- `6634030be31e1a1842967df046c2f2e47490e6bf`\n\n### Release Process Note\n`patched_versions` is pre-set to the released version (`2026.2.23`). Patched in `2026.2.23` and published.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.","aliases":["CVE-2026-32007"],"modified":"2026-03-30T14:05:52.491640Z","published":"2026-03-03T21:37:11Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-03T21:37:11Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-03-19T22:16:33Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-22","CWE-284","CWE-863"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-h9xm-j4qg-fvpg"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32007"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/6634030be31e1a1842967df046c2f2e47490e6bf"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-sandbox-bypass-in-apply-patch-tool-via-workspace-only-check-bypass"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.2.23"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-h9xm-j4qg-fvpg/GHSA-h9xm-j4qg-fvpg.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
