CVE-2026-27008
OpenClaw hardened the skill download target directory validation
Impact
## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.14` - Fixed in: planned release `2026.2.15` ## Impact A bug in `download` skill installation allowed `targetDir` values from skill frontmatter to resolve outside the per-skill tools directory if not strictly validated. In the admin-only `skills.install` flow, this could write files outside the intended install sandbox. ## Fix Commit(s) - 2363e1b08 fix(security): restrict skill download target paths - b6305e972 test(skills): split installer security coverage ## Acknowledgement Thanks @Adam55A-code for reporting.
