CVE-2026-27523

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.

Summary
  • (es) Versiones de OpenClaw anteriores a 2026.2.24 contienen una vulnerabilidad de validación de enlace (bind) de sandbox que permite a los atacantes eludir las comprobaciones de raíces permitidas (allowed-root) y rutas bloqueadas (blocked-path) a través de directorios padre con enlaces simbólicos (symlinked parent directories) con rutas hoja (leaf paths) inexistentes. Los atacantes pueden crear rutas de origen de enlace (bind source paths) que parecen estar dentro de raíces permitidas pero se resuelven fuera de los límites del sandbox una vez que se crean los componentes hoja (leaf components) que faltan, debilitando la aplicación del aislamiento de origen de enlace (bind-source isolation enforcement).
