Description
OpenClaw before 2026.4.10 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the screen_record tool's outPath parameter that bypasses workspace-only filesystem guards. Attackers can exploit this by specifying an outPath outside the workspace boundary to write files to unintended locations on the system.
