Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2026-32060 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.7/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.14 contain a path traversal vulnerability in apply_patch that allows attackers to write or delete files outside the configured workspace directory. When apply_patch is enabled without filesystem sandbox containment, attackers can exploit crafted paths including directory traversal sequences or absolute paths to escape workspace boundaries and modify arbitrary files.. EPSS estimates a 0.74% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
