Vulnerability Advisory : OpenClaw < 2026.2.22 - Symlink Traversal via IDENTITY.md appendFile in agents.create/update with LOW Attack Complexity

OpenClaw through 2026.2.22 contains a symlink traversal vulnerability in agents.create and agents.update handlers that use fs.appendFile on IDENTITY.md without symlink containment checks. Attackers with workspace access can plant symlinks to append attacker-controlled content to arbitrary files, enabling remote code execution via crontab injection or unauthorized access via SSH key manipulation.
