SCA: security update for openclaw (GHSA-cv7m-c9jx-vg7q)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437784

Description

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

 - OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to version 2026.2.14, authenticated attackers can read
 arbitrary files from the Gateway host by supplying absolute paths or path traversal sequences to the
 browser tool's `upload` action. The server passed these paths to Playwright's `setInputFiles()` APIs
 without restricting them to a safe root. An attacker must reach the Gateway HTTP surface (or otherwise
 invoke the same browser control hook endpoints); present valid Gateway auth (bearer token / password), as
 required by the Gateway configuration (In common default setups, the Gateway binds to loopback and the
 onboarding wizard generates a gateway token even for loopback); and have the `browser` tool permitted by
 tool policy for the target session/context (and have browser support enabled). If an operator exposes the
 Gateway beyond loopback (LAN/tailnet/custom bind, reverse proxy, tunnels, etc.), the impact increases
 accordingly. Starting in version 2026.2.14, the upload paths are now confined to OpenClaw's temp uploads
 root (`DEFAULT_UPLOAD_DIR`) and traversal/escape paths are rejected. (CVE-2026-26329)
