OpenClaw before 2026.4.15 contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the QMD backend memory_get function that allows callers to read any Markdown files within the workspace root. Attackers with access to the memory tool can bypass path restrictions by providing arbitrary workspace Markdown paths to read files outside canonical memory locations or indexed QMD result sets.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.20 contains a scope enforcement bypass vulnerability in the assistant-media route that allows trusted-proxy callers without operator.read scope to access protected assistant-media files and metadata. Attackers can bypass identity-bearing HTTP auth path scope validation to retrieve sensitive media content within allowed media roots.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.20 contains an improper authorization vulnerability in paired-device pairing management that allows limited-scope sessions to enumerate and act on pairing requests. Attackers with paired-device access can approve or operate on unrelated pending device requests within the same gateway scope.
OpenClaw versions 2026.4.7 before 2026.4.15 fail to enforce local-root containment on tool-result media paths, allowing arbitrary local and UNC file access. Attackers can craft malicious tool-result media references to trigger host-side file reads or Windows network path access, potentially disclosing sensitive files or exposing credentials.
