OpenClaw: Path traversal via inbound channel attachment path in ACP dispatch allows arbitrary file read
Summary
Path traversal via inbound channel attachment path in ACP dispatch allows arbitrary file read
Current Maintainer Triage
- Normalized severity: medium
- Assessment: v2026.3.28 ACP dispatch still reads attachment paths outside the guarded attachment-cache or root checks, and the root-enforcement fix is not yet shipped.
