Summary
OpenClaw skills-install-download: tar.bz2 extraction bypassed archive safety parity checks (local DoS)
Details
Summary
The tar.bz2 installer path in src/agents/skills-install-download.ts used shell tar preflight/extract logic that did not share the same hardening guarantees as the centralized archive extractor.
This allowed crafted .tar.bz2 archives to bypass special-entry blocking and extracted-size guardrails enforced on other archive paths, causing local availability impact during skill install.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Latest published at triage time:
2026.3.1 - Affected range:
<= 2026.3.1 - Patched in:

Impact
