OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Telegram bot tokens can appear in error messages and stack traces (for example, when request URLs include `https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/...`). Prior to version 2026.2.15, OpenClaw logged these strings without redaction, which could leak the bot token into logs, crash reports, CI output, or support bundles. Disclosure of a Telegram bot token allows an attacker to impersonate the bot and take over Bot API access. Users should upgrade to version 2026.2.15 to obtain a fix and rotate the Telegram bot token if it may have been exposed.

OpenClaw Multiple Vulnerabilities February 20

The version of the OpenClaw AI assistant installed on the remote host is prior to 2026.2.15. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

  - A configuration injection issue in the Docker tool sandbox could allow dangerous Docker options such as bind mounts,     host networking, and unconfined profiles to be applied, enabling container escape or host data access.
    (CVE-2026-27002)

  - The current working directory path was embedded into the agent system prompt without sanitization, allowing prompt     injection via crafted directory names containing control or format characters. (CVE-2026-27001)

  - A bug in download skill installation allowed targetDir values from skill frontmatter to resolve outside the per-skill     tools directory, potentially writing files outside the intended install sandbox. (CVE-2026-27008)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:
