BREW-openclaw-cli-CVE-2026-33574 — OpenClaw's skills-install-download can be redirected outside the tools root by rebinding the validated base path

Affected: Homebrew: openclaw-cli

OpenClaw's skills download installer validated the intended per-skill tools root lexically, but later reused that mutable path while downloading and copying the archive into place. If a local attacker could rebind that tools-root path between validation and the final write, the installer could be redirected to write outside the intended tools directory.

The fix pins the canonical per-skill tools root immediately after validation and derives later download/copy paths from that canonical root, so rebinding the lexical path fails closed instead of redirecting the write.

## Affected Packages / Versions

- Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published vulnerable version: `2026.3.7` - Affected range: `<= 2026.3.7` - Fixed in released version: `2026.3.8`

## Fix Commit(s)

- `9abf014f3502009faf9c73df5ca2cff719e54639`

## Release Verification

- Verified fixed in GitHub release `v2026.3.8` published on March 9, 2026. - Verified `npm view openclaw version` resolves to `2026.3.8`. - Verified the release contains the regression test covering tools-root rebinding and that the test passes against the `v2026.3.8` tree.

Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.8 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the skills download installer that validates the tools root lexically but reuses the mutable path during archive download and copy operations. A local attacker can rebind the tools-root path between validation and final write to redirect the installer outside the intended tools directory.
