What is CVE-2026-32054?

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25 are exposed to a symlink traversal vulnerability due to improper handling of browser trace and download output paths. Local attackers with access can exploit this flaw by creating symlinks that redirect file writes outside the designated managed temp root directory, potentially leading to the arbitrary overwriting of files on the system. This vulnerability highlights the critical importance of securing local access permissions and ensuring directory path integrity to mitigate such risks.
