SCA: security update for openclaw (GHSA-r6h2-5gqq-v5v6)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437922

Description

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

- OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. In versions 2026.2.17 and below, skills/skill-
creator/scripts/package_skill.py (a local helper script used when authors package skills) previously
followed symlinks while building .skill archives. If an author runs this script on a crafted local skill
directory containing symlinks to files outside the skill root, the resulting archive can include
unintended file contents. If exploited, this vulnerability can lead to potential unintentional disclosure
of local files from the packaging machine into a generated .skill artifact, but requires local execution
of the packaging script on attacker-controlled skill contents. This issue has been fixed in version
2026.2.18. (CVE-2026-27485)
