CVE-2026-27523: Openclaw

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.24 contain a sandbox bind validation vulnerability allowing attackers to bypass allowed-root and blocked-path checks via symlinked parent directories with non-existent leaf paths. Attackers can craft bind source paths that appear within allowed roots but resolve outside sandbox boundaries once missing leaf components are created, weakening bind-source isolation enforcement.

Affected products

• Openclaw Openclaw: before 2026.2.24 (fixed in 2026.2.24)
