Last modified

CVE-2026-108156 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.1/10 on the CVSS scale. LobsterAI 2026.5.27 through 2026.9.23 contains an external control of file path vulnerability in the skills:delete IPC handler that trusts the openclawSourceDir value from a skill's _meta.json during uninstall. Attackers who convince a user to install a crafted skill can make uninstallation recursively delete arbitrary user-writable directories, such as the home directory, since the security scanner never inspects _meta.json.. EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
