CVE-2026-27008

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to version 2026.2.15, a bug in `download` skill installation allowed `targetD

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to version 2026.2.15, a bug in download skill installation allowed targetDir values from skill frontmatter to resolve outside the per-skill tools directory if not strictly validated. In the admin-only skills.install flow, this could write files outside the intended install sandbox.

Version 2026.2.15 contains a fix for the issue.
