CWE-22Published: April 10, 2026· Updated: Apr 13, 2026
Official Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains a path traversal vulnerability in sandbox enforcement allowing sandboxed agents to read arbitrary files from other agents' workspaces via unnormalized mediaUrl or fileUrl parameter keys. Attackers can exploit incomplete parameter validation in normalizeSandboxMediaParams and missing mediaLocalRoots context to access sensitive files including API keys and configuration data outside designated sandbox roots.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-35668 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
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 7.7.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2026-35668. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
