Affected: OpenClaw

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.2 contain an archive extraction vulnerability in the tar.bz2 installer path that bypasses safety checks enforced on other archive formats. Attackers can craft malicious tar.bz2 skill archives to bypass special-entry blocking and extracted-size guardrails, causing local denial of service during skill installation.

 https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/ghsa-77hf-7fqf-f227 GHSA-77hf-7fqf-f227 — OpenClaw skills-install-download: tar.bz2 extraction bypassed archive safety parity checks (local DoS) 2026-10-01T11:41:17.879145+00:00

Affected: npm: openclaw

### Summary The `tar.bz2` installer path in `src/agents/skills-install-download.ts` used shell tar preflight/extract logic that did not share the same hardening guarantees as the centralized archive extractor.

This allowed crafted `.tar.bz2` archives to bypass special-entry blocking and extracted-size guardrails enforced on other archive paths, causing local availability impact during skill install.

### Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published at triage time: `2026.3.1` - Affected range: `<= 2026.3.1` - Patched in: `2026.3.2` (released)

### Impact Local DoS / availability impact when processing untrusted `.tar.bz2` skill archives.

### Fix Commit(s) - `0dbb92dd2bcf9a32379d11c0f11ed016669dae3e`
