CVE-2026-53825
OpenClaw < 2026.4.7 - Arbitrary Local File Read via memory-wiki Ingest with operator.write Scope
Description

OpenClaw before 2026.4.7 contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the memory-wiki ingest feature that allows authenticated Gateway operators with operator.write scope to read local files outside intended ingest sources. Attackers with operator.write access can specify arbitrary local file paths to import file content into wiki memory, bypassing access restrictions.
