Description

Summary

Media Local Roots Self-Whitelisting in appendLocalMediaParentRoots Allows Model-Initiated Arbitrary Host File Read and Credential Exfiltration

Current Maintainer Triage

Status: narrow
Normalized severity: medium
Assessment: v2026.3.28 still self-whitelists media parent dirs in src/media/local-roots.ts, but only after config already permits tool-fs root expansion, so the impact is narrower than the default-critical framing.

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: openclaw (npm)
Latest published npm version: 2026.3.31
Vulnerable version range: <=2026.3.28
Patched versions: >= 2026.3.31
