Description
OpenClaw before 2026.4.8 treats shared reply MEDIA paths as trusted, allowing crafted references to trigger cross-channel local file exfiltration. Attackers can exploit this by crafting malicious shared reply MEDIA references to cause another channel to read local file paths as trusted generated media.
