Summary
OpenClaw before version 2026.4.7 contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the memory-wiki ingest feature that allows authenticated Gateway operators with operator.write scope to read local files outside intended ingest sources. Attackers with operator.write access can specify arbitrary local file paths to import file content into wiki memory, bypassing access restrictions.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may be exposed to unauthorized access to sensitive data, potentially leading to information leaks or privacy violations. Exploitation of this vulnerability could result in serious legal and reputational consequences.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update OpenClaw to version 2026.4.7 or later to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, access to the memory wiki ingest feature should be restricted to trusted operators.
