Summary
stageSandboxMedia allowed destination symlink traversal during media staging, which could overwrite files outside the sandbox workspace root.
Impact
When sandbox media staging handled inbound files, destination writes under media/inbound were not destination-alias-safe. If a symlink existed in that destination path, the write could follow it and overwrite host files outside the intended sandbox workspace boundary.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Latest published version checked:
2026.3.1 - Affected:
<= 2026.3.1 - Patched versions:
>= 2026.3.2(released)
Root Cause
stageSandboxMedia validated source paths but wrote destination files with a direct copy path that did not enforce destination boundary/alias checks.
Remediation
The fix routes staging writes through root-scoped safe write primitives for both local and SCP-staged attachments, preventing destination symlink traversal escapes.
