📄 Description (English)

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. In versions 2026.2.17 and below, skills/skill-creator/scripts/package_skill.py (a local helper script used when authors package skills) previously followed symlinks while building .skill archives. If an author runs this script on a crafted local skill directory containing symlinks to files outside the skill root, the resulting archive can include unintended file contents. If exploited, this vulnerability can lead to potential unintentional disclosure of local files from the packaging machine into a generated .skill artifact, but requires local execution of the packaging script on attacker-controlled skill contents. This issue has been fixed in version 2026.2.18.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

OpenClaw AI assistant versions 2026.2.17 and below contain a symlink following vulnerability in the skill packaging script that could expose local files when processing crafted skill directories. The vulnerability requires local execution but can lead to unintentional disclosure of sensitive files into generated skill artifacts.

📄 Description (Arabic)

تحتوي ثغرة CVE-2026-27485 على مشكلة متابعة الروابط الرمزية في سكريبت package_skill.py المستخدم لتغليف مهارات OpenClaw. عند تنفيذ السكريبت على دليل مهارات يحتوي على روابط رمزية، قد يتم تضمين محتويات ملفات غير مقصودة من خارج جذر المهارة في أرشيف .skill الناتج. يتطلب الاستغلال تنفيذاً محلياً للسكريبت على محتويات مهارات يتحكم فيها المهاجم.

🤖 ملخص تنفيذي (AI)

مساعد OpenClaw الذكي في الإصدارات 2026.2.17 وأقل يحتوي على ثغرة متابعة الروابط الرمزية في سكريبت تغليف المهارات التي قد تكشف الملفات المحلية عند معالجة دليل مهارات مصنوع. تتطلب الثغرة تنفيذاً محلياً لكنها قد تؤدي إلى الكشف غير المقصود عن الملفات الحساسة في القطع الأثرية للمهارات المُنتجة.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
Update OpenClaw to version 2026.2.18 or later immediately. Restrict access to skill packaging scripts and directories to trusted developers only. Implement file system monitoring to detect suspicious symlink creation in skill development directories. Review and validate all skill packages before deployment to ensure no unintended files are included.
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
قم بتحديث OpenClaw إلى الإصدار 2026.2.18 أو أحدث فوراً. قيد الوصول إلى سكريبتات وأدلة تغليف المهارات للمطورين الموثوقين فقط. طبق مراقبة نظام الملفات للكشف عن إنشاء روابط رمزية مريبة في أدلة تطوير المهارات. راجع والتحقق من جميع حزم المهارات قبل النشر للتأكد من عدم تضمين أي ملفات غير مقصودة.
