CVSS 8.6 · HIGH

CVE-2026-43533

OpenClaw before 2026.4.10 contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability in QQBot media tags that allows attackers to reference host-local paths outside the intended media storage boundary. Attackers can craft malicious reply text containing media tags to disclose arbitrary local files through outbound media handling.

Analysis

OpenClaw is a niche open-source project, often associated with QQBot integrations or game engine reimplementations, which has negligible adoption in the Mexican developer ecosystem. While an arbitrary file read is a serious vulnerability, the software's deployment scale does not warrant a community-wide alert.

How to read this card

Actively exploited

KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) is CISA's catalog of CVEs confirmed as actively exploited in the real world. If a CVE is on KEV, someone is already using it in attacks.

CVSS 10.0

CVSS 10.0 — máxima severidad teórica. Explotable de forma remota, sin privilegios, con impacto total. Aún no confirmada como explotada en el mundo real, pero parchea ya.
