Last modified

CVE-2026-41397 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.6/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a sandbox escape vulnerability allowing attackers to traverse directory boundaries through symlink exploitation during file synchronization operations. Remote attackers can bypass sandbox restrictions by crafting malicious symlinks in mirror sync operations to access arbitrary files outside intended boundaries.. EPSS estimates a 0.47% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
