OpenClaw < 2026.4.15 - Arbitrary Markdown File Read via QMD memory_get
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.4.15 contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the QMD backend memory_get function that allows callers to read any Markdown files within the workspace root. Attackers with access to the memory tool can bypass path restrictions by providing arbitrary workspace Markdown paths to read files outside canonical memory locations or indexed QMD result sets.
