CVE-2026-26321Network attack vector

Local file disclosure via direct media path reads

Published Feb 19, 2026 · Updated Feb 19, 2026

Path traversal in OpenClaw before 2026.2.14 allows remote attackers to read local files through Feishu media tool calls. The sendMediaFeishu function classified absolute, home-relative, drive-letter, file-scheme, and malformed mediaUrl values as local paths, then passed them directly to a synchronous file read without restricting the resolved location. Exploitation requires influence over a tool call, directly or through prompt injection, and sends files readable by the OpenClaw process through the configured Feishu account.
