CVE-2026-22180: OpenClaw: Unified root-bound write hardening for browser output and related path-boundary flows

March 3, 2026 (updated March 18, 2026)

A path-confinement bypass in browser output handling allowed writes outside intended roots in openclaw versions up to and including 2026.3.1.

The fix unifies root-bound, file-descriptor-verified write semantics and canonical path-boundary validation across browser output and related install/skills write paths.
