CVE-2026-27008: OpenClaw hardened the skill download target directory validation
(updated )
A bug in download skill installation allowed targetDir values from skill frontmatter to resolve outside the per-skill tools directory if not strictly validated.
In the admin-only skills.install flow, this could write files outside the intended install sandbox.
