In short

NanoClaw versions before 2.1.17 have a flaw where malicious agents can trick the system into copying files by using symbolic links, potentially exposing sensitive files from the host system.

Technical detail

A symlink following vulnerability exists in the forwardAttachedFiles function where filename validation via isSafeAttachmentName is insufficient, permitting container-controlled agents to leverage fs.copyFileSync's symlink traversal to read arbitrary host-accessible files without proper path containment checks.

Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
NanoClaw before 2.1.17 contains a symlink following vulnerability in forwardAttachedFiles that allows container-controlled agents to exfiltrate host-readable files. The host validates attachment filenames using only isSafeAttachmentName before copying with fs.copyFileSync, which follows symlinks without containment checks, allowing malicious agents to disclose arbitrary host files.
