GHSA-6q2v-vfwp-pvwh: Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw's skills-install-download can be redirected outside the tools root by rebinding the validated base path
(updated )
Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-vhwf-4x96-vqx2. This link is maintained to preserve external references.
Original Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.8 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the skills download installer that validates the tools root lexically but reuses the mutable path during archive download and copy operations. A local attacker can rebind the tools-root path between validation and final write to redirect the installer outside the intended tools directory.
