Summary
OpenClaw has a local file disclosure via sendMediaFeishu in Feishu extension
The Feishu extension previously allowed sendMediaFeishu to treat attacker-controlled mediaUrl values as local filesystem paths and read them directly.
Affected versions
< 2026.2.14
Patched versions
>= 2026.2.14
Notes
The fix removes direct local file reads from this path and routes media loading through hardened helpers that enforce local-root restrictions.
Fix commit 5b4121d60 confirmed on main and in v2026.2.14. Upgrade to openclaw >= 2026.2.14.
Impact
If an attacker can influence tool calls (directly or via prompt injection), they may be able to exfiltrate local files by supplying paths such as /etc/passwd as mediaUrl.
Input manipulates file paths to reach files outside the intended directory, such as configuration or credential files. Typical impact: unauthorized file read or write outside the intended directory.
CVE-2026-26321 has a CVSS score of 7.5 (High). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (2026.2.14); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
Remediation advice
Upgrade to OpenClaw 2026.2.14 or newer.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2026-26321? CVE-2026-26321 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in openclaw (npm), affecting versions < 2026.2.14. It is fixed in 2026.2.14. Input manipulates file paths to reach files outside the intended directory, such as configuration or credential files.
- How severe is CVE-2026-26321? CVE-2026-26321 has a CVSS score of 7.5 (High). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
- Which versions of openclaw are affected by CVE-2026-26321? openclaw (npm) versions < 2026.2.14 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2026-26321? Yes. CVE-2026-26321 is fixed in 2026.2.14. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2026-26321 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2026-26321 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2026-26321 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
