Summary
OpenClaw's image tool bypasses tools.fs.workspaceOnly on sandbox mount paths and exfiltrates out-of-workspace images
Details

Summary

In OpenClaw, the sandboxed image tool did not honor tools.fs.workspaceOnly=true for mounted paths resolved by the sandbox FS bridge. This allowed reading out-of-workspace mounted images (for example /agent/*) and forwarding those bytes to vision model providers.

Impact

Sandbox boundary bypass with confidentiality impact. In affected versions, read/write/edit respected workspace-only guardrails, but image could still load mounted out-of-workspace files and exfiltrate them via model requests.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected versions: <= 2026.2.22-2
  • Patched versions: >= 2026.2.23 (released)
  • Latest published npm at triage time: 2026.2.22-2

Technical Details

workspaceOnly was enforced in sandbox file tools and apply_patch, but not propagated/enforced for image sandbox path resolution. The fix threads workspaceOnly into image-tool construction and asserts sandbox-root containment before loading media bytes.

OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
