CVE-2026-53813
OpenClaw before 2026.4.25 contains a path traversal vulnerability in memory-core artifact loading where workspace state influences local package root resolution.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.11%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
