CVE-2026-32055: OpenClaw: workspace path guard bypass on non-existent out-of-root symlink leaf
(updated )
openclaw had a workspace boundary bypass in workspace-only path validation: when an in-workspace symlink pointed outside the workspace to a non-existent leaf, the first write could pass validation and create the file outside the workspace.
