What is CVE-2026-41370?

OpenClaw, before version 2026.3.31, is susceptible to a path traversal vulnerability in its ACP dispatch mechanism. This flaw allows remote attackers to exploit the inbound channel attachment paths, enabling them to read arbitrary files. By circumventing attachment-cache and root directory validations, attackers can gain unauthorized access to files residing outside designated directories. This vulnerability poses significant risks and requires immediate attention to prevent potential data breaches.
