Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.8

Description The software contains a path traversal issue in the skills download installer. The installer validates the tools root path but reuses a mutable path during archive download and copy operations. This allows a local attacker to redirect the installer outside the intended tools directory by rebinding the tools-root path between validation and the final write operation.

Recommendations Update to version 2026.3.8 or later.
