Summary

In sandboxed runs, native prompt image auto-load did not honor tools.fs.workspaceOnly=true.
This optional hardening setting is not enabled by default. When operators enabled it, prompt text could still reference mounted out-of-workspace image paths (for example /agent/secret.png) and load those image bytes for vision-capable model input.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Latest published npm version at triage time: 2026.2.23
  • Vulnerable version range: <= 2026.2.23
  • Patched version (planned next release): 2026.2.24

Conditions Required

This issue required all of the following:
  • sandbox mode enabled,
  • tools.fs.workspaceOnly=true configured,
  • an out-of-workspace mount path reachable from the sandbox (for example /agent),
  • vision-capable model path active for native prompt image loading.

Technical Details

Native prompt image ingestion (detectAndLoadPromptImages / loadImageFromRef) resolved and read sandbox paths but did not apply the same workspace-root assertion used by file tools when tools.fs.workspaceOnly was set.
