CVE-2026-28453: OpenClaw has Zip Slip path traversal in tar archive extraction
(updated )
OpenClaw versions before 2026.2.14 did not sufficiently validate TAR archive entry paths during extraction. A crafted archive could use path traversal sequences (for example ../../...) to write files outside the intended destination directory (Zip Slip).
