Description

Summary

The image tool did not fully honor the tools.fs.workspaceOnly filesystem boundary. In affected releases, image-path resolution could still traverse sandbox bridge mounts outside the workspace and read files from mounted directories that the other file tools would reject.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected: < 2026.3.2
  • Fixed: >= 2026.3.2

Release Status

The complete fix shipped in v2026.3.2 and remains present in v2026.3.23 and v2026.3.23-2.

Code-Level Confirmation

  • src/agents/openclaw-tools.ts now passes fsPolicy into createImageTool, so the image tool receives the same workspace-only policy input as the other filesystem tools.
  • src/agents/tools/image-tool.ts, src/agents/tools/media-tool-shared.ts, and src/agents/sandbox-media-paths.ts now restrict local roots and sandbox-bridge resolution to the workspace when tools.fs.workspaceOnly is enabled.

OpenClaw thanks @YLChen-007 for reporting.
