OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to version 2026.2.15, a bug in download skill installation allowed targetDir values from skill frontmatter to resolve outside the per-skill tools directory if not strictly validated. In the admin-only skills.install flow, this could write files outside the intended install sandbox. Version 2026.2.15 contains a fix for the issue.
CVE-2026-27008
This medium-severity CVE scores 6.7 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.2%, top 94% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
