OpenClaw < 2026.3.24 - Arbitrary File Read via mediaUrl and fileUrl Parameters
cve-program · CVE-2026-33581
PublishedOpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains a sandbox bypass vulnerability in the message tool that allows attackers to read arbitrary local files by using mediaUrl and fileUrl alias parameters that bypass localRoots validation. Remote attackers can exploit this by routing file requests through unvalidated alias parameters to access files outside the intended sandbox directory.

Published## Summary The message tool accepted `mediaUrl` and `fileUrl` aliases without applying the same sandbox localRoots validation as the canonical media path handling. ## Impact A caller constrained to sandbox media roots could read arbitrary local files by routing them through the alias parameters. ## Affected Component `src/infra/outbound/message-action-params.ts, src/infra/outbound/message-action-runner.ts` ## Fixed Versions - Affected: `< 2026.3.24` - Patched: `>= 2026.3.24` - Latest stable `2026.3.28` contains the fix. ## Fix Fixed by commit `1d7cb6fc03` (`fix: close sandbox media root bypass for mediaUrl/fileUrl aliases`). OpenClaw thanks @AntAISecurityLab for reporting.

Exploitation and risk
Source statusCISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.
Which CVEs have scores here?
This view includes predictions for CVE identifiers explicitly listed in public NuGet advisories. Microsoft release pages have their own prediction coverage. Check source status for the scope and latest checks.
No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.
