Summary

LobsterAI from 2026.5.27 through 2026.9.23 by netease-youdao has external control of a file path in the skills:delete IPC handler (CWE-73). The handler trusts the openclawSourceDir value in a skill's _meta.json during uninstall, and the security scanner never inspects that file. A local attacker who convinces a user to install a crafted skill can make uninstallation recursively delete user-writable directories, such as the home directory.

Description from the CNA

LobsterAI 2026.5.27 through 2026.9.23 contains an external control of file path vulnerability in the skills:delete IPC handler that trusts the openclawSourceDir value from a skill's _meta.json during uninstall. Attackers who convince a user to install a crafted skill can make uninstallation recursively delete arbitrary user-writable directories, such as the home directory, since the security scanner never inspects _meta.json.
