What is CVE-2026-44111?

OpenClaw, prior to version 2026.4.15, is affected by an arbitrary file read vulnerability located in the QMD backend's memory_get function. This flaw permits attackers to read any Markdown files located within the workspace root. Through exploiting this vulnerability, individuals with access to the memory tool can circumvent established path restrictions, allowing them to specify arbitrary Markdown file paths. Consequently, this can lead to unauthorized access to files that reside outside the designated memory locations or indexed QMD result sets.
