Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-28459 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- openclaw (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 2026.2.12\n- openclaw (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 2026.2.12\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-28459/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-28459/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-28459","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-28459/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-28459","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-64qx-vpxx-mvqf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenClaw gateway","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can write arbitrary files to the host filesystem via an unvalidated sessionFile path, potentially causing configuration corruption or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[{"product":"openclaw","vendor":"openclaw"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-73","name":"External Control of File Name or Path"}],"description":"OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.12 fail to validate the sessionFile path parameter, allowing authenticated gateway clients to write transcript data to arbitrary locations on the host filesystem.
