Official Description
OpenClaw before 2026.2.17 creates session transcript JSONL files with overly broad default permissions, allowing local users to read transcript contents. Attackers with local access can read transcript files to extract sensitive information including secrets from tool output.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-33572 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), with a CVSS base score of 5.5.
