What is CVE-2026-43533?

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.4.10 are susceptible to an arbitrary file read vulnerability that arises from improper handling of QQBot media tags. This flaw enables attackers to craft malicious messages that can reference local file paths beyond the confines of designated media storage. Consequently, through robust outbound media processing, adversaries could expose sensitive files from the host system, creating significant security risks for users.
