SCA: security update for openclaw (GHSA-m8v2-6wwh-r4gc)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438358

Description

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

 - OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.24 contain a sandbox bind validation vulnerability allowing attackers to
 bypass allowed-root and blocked-path checks via symlinked parent directories with non-existent leaf paths.
 Attackers can craft bind source paths that appear within allowed roots but resolve outside sandbox
 boundaries once missing leaf components are created, weakening bind-source isolation enforcement.
 (CVE-2026-27523)

Solution

Update the openclaw library and its related packages to version 2026.2.24 or later.
