How severe is CVE-2026-32007?

No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2026-32007 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-32007?

CVE-2026-32007 affects the following packages: openclaw (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix CVE-2026-32007?

Update openclaw to 2026.2.23 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-32007 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-32007 in my npm dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-32007 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Resolve every user-supplied path to its canonical form and reject anything that escapes the intended directory, and run the component under an account that has no read or write access outside the directory it legitimately serves.

Is CVE-2026-32007 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-32007 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-32007?

CVE-2026-32007 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 33th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-32007?

CVE-2026-32007 is classified as Path Traversal (CWE-22). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was CVE-2026-32007 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-32007 was published on March 19, 2026 and was last updated on October 28, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Summary

In some opt-in sandbox configurations, the experimental apply_patch tool did not consistently apply workspace-only checks to mounted paths (for example /agent/...).

Impact

This does not affect default installs.

Default posture:

agents.defaults.sandbox.mode=off (sandbox disabled by default)
tools.exec.applyPatch.enabled=false (experimental tool disabled by default)

This behavior applies only when all of the following are enabled/configured:

sandbox mode,
experimental apply_patch,
workspace-only expectations (tools.fs.workspaceOnly=true and/or tools.exec.applyPatch.workspaceOnly=true),
and writable mounts outside workspace.

Under that opt-in setup, apply_patch operations could target mounted paths outside the workspace root.

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: openclaw (npm)
Affected published versions: <= 2026.2.22-2
Fixed in code on main: commit 6634030be31e1a1842967df046c2f2e47490e6bf
Patched release: 2026.2.23

Technical Details

In the sandbox path flow, apply_patch used sandbox.bridge.resolvePath(...) without applying the same workspace-root assertion used by other filesystem tools. The fix makes apply_patch follow the same workspace-only enforcement for sandbox-resolved paths (unless explicitly disabled with tools.exec.applyPatch.workspaceOnly=false).
