SCA: security update for openclaw (GHSA-xwjm-j929-xq7c)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437823

Description

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

 - OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. In versions 2026.1.12 through 2026.2.12, OpenClaw browser download
 helpers accepted an unsanitized output path. When invoked via the browser control gateway routes, this
 allowed path traversal to write downloads outside the intended OpenClaw temp downloads directory. This
 issue is not exposed via the AI agent tool schema (no `download` action). Exploitation requires
 authenticated CLI access or an authenticated gateway RPC token. Version 2026.2.13 fixes the issue.
