OpenClaw gateway agents.files symlink escape allowed out-of-workspace file read/write
Impact
The gateway agents.files.get and agents.files.set methods allowed symlink traversal for allowlisted workspace files. A symlinked allowlisted file (for example AGENTS.md) could resolve outside the agent workspace and be read/written by the gateway process.
This could enable arbitrary host file read/write within the gateway process permissions, and chained impact up to code execution depending on which files are overwritten.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected versions:
<= 2026.2.24 - Latest published vulnerable version at patch time:
2026.2.24 - Patched versions:
>= 2026.2.25
Remediation
agents.files now resolves real workspace paths, enforces containment for resolved targets, rejects out-of-workspace symlink targets, and keeps in-workspace symlink targets supported. The patch also adds gateway regression tests for blocked escapes and valid in-workspace symlink behavior.
