Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the component Configuration Data Handler. Such manipulation of the argument fileUrl leads to path traversal. This vulnerability is documented as CVE-2026-35668. The attack can be executed remotely. There is not any exploit available. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component. Detailsinfo A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in OpenClaw up to 2026.3.23. Affected by this issue is an unknown code of the component Configuration Data Handler. The manipulation of the argument fileUrl with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. Impacted is confidentiality. CVE summarizes: OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains a path traversal vulnerability in sandbox enforcement allowing sandboxed agents to read arbitrary files from other agents' workspaces via unnormalized mediaUrl or fileUrl parameter keys. Attackers can exploit incomplete parameter validation in normalizeSandboxMediaParams and missing mediaLocalRoots context to access sensitive files including API keys and configuration data outside designated sandbox roots. The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-35668 since 04/04/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. This vulnerability is assigned to T1006 by the MITRE ATT&CK project. Upgrading to version 2026.3.24 eliminates this vulnerability.
