Affected: OpenClaw

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 contain a symlink traversal vulnerability in avatar handling that allows attackers to read arbitrary files outside the configured workspace boundary. Remote attackers can exploit this by requesting avatar resources through gateway surfaces to disclose local files accessible to the OpenClaw process.

 https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/ghsa-rx3g-mvc3-qfjf GHSA-rx3g-mvc3-qfjf — OpenClaw's avatar symlink traversal can expose out-of-workspace local files 2026-09-30T17:00:03.167514+00:00

Affected: npm: openclaw

### Summary OpenClaw avatar handling allowed a symlink traversal path that could expose local files outside an agent workspace through gateway avatar surfaces.

### Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.21`, plus prereleases `2026.2.21-1` and `2026.2.21-2` - Latest published version at triage time (2026-02-22): `2026.2.21-2` (affected) - Planned patched version (pre-set for release workflow): `2026.2.22`

### Details In vulnerable builds, local avatar resolution could follow symlinks and return file bytes from outside the configured workspace boundary.

The issue was hardened in two paths: 1. Gateway avatar metadata resolution now enforces canonical containment, `O_NOFOLLOW`, and fd/file-identity checks. 2. Control UI avatar serving now rejects symlink paths and enforces fd/file-identity and size checks before reads.

### Fix Commit(s) - `3d0337504349954237d09e4d957df5cb844d5e77` - `6970c2c2db3ee069ef0fff0ade5cfbdd0134f9d2`

### Release Process Note `patched_versions` is pre-set to `>= 2026.2.22` so after npm release, the remaining action is to publish this advisory.

### Impact Confidentiality impact only: local files readable by the OpenClaw process could be disclosed via avatar response surfaces.

OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
