OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.19 contain a race condition vulnerability in concurrent updateRegistry and removeRegistryEntry operations for sandbox containers and browsers. Attackers can exploit unsynchronized read-modify-write operations without locking to cause registry updates to lose data, resurrect removed entries, or corrupt sandbox state affecting list, prune, and recreate operations.

- WID-SEC-W-2026-0472OpenClaw: Mehrere SchwachstellenDeutsch2026-02-22csaf · cert_bundDE
Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in OpenClaw ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen, sich erhöhte Berechtigungen zu verschaffen, Daten zu manipulieren, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand auszulösen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen oder andere nicht näher spezifizierte Angriffe durchzuführen.
- GHSA-gq83-8q7q-9hfxOpenClaw's serialize sandbox registry writes to prevent races and delete-rollback corruption2026-03-03ghsa · osvUS
## Impact Concurrent `updateRegistry`/`removeRegistryEntry` operations for sandbox containers and browsers could lose updates or resurrect removed entries under race conditions. The registry writes were read-modify-write in a window with no locking and permissive fallback parsing, so concurrent registry updates could produce stale snapshots and overwrite each other. That desyncs sandbox state and can affect `sandbox list`, `sandbox prune`, and `sandbox recreate --all` behavior. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.17` - Patched versions: `2026.2.18` ## Fix Commit(s) - `cc29be8c9` OpenClaw thanks @kexinoh for reporting.
