OpenClaw: Self-Whitelisting in appendLocalMediaParentRoots Allows Arbitrary File Read & Credential Exfiltration
Summary
Media Local Roots Self-Whitelisting in appendLocalMediaParentRoots Allows Model-Initiated Arbitrary Host File Read and Credential Exfiltration
Current Maintainer Triage
- Status: narrow
- Normalized severity: medium
- Assessment: v2026.3.28 still self-whitelists media parent dirs in src/media/local-roots.ts, but only after config already permits tool-fs root expansion, so the impact is narrower than the default-critical framing.
