OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.1 fail to enforce sandbox inheritance during cross-agent sessions_spawn operations, allowing sandboxed sessions to create child processes under unsandboxed agents. An attacker with a sandboxed session can exploit this to spawn child runtimes with sandbox.mode set to off, bypassing runtime confinement restrictions.

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in OpenClaw ausnutzen, um erweiterte Berechtigungen zu erlangen, Daten zu manipulieren, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand herbeizuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen oder andere nicht näher spezifizierte Angriffe durchzuführen.
- GHSA-p7gr-f84w-hqg5OpenClaw's sandboxed sessions_spawn now enforces sandbox inheritance for cross-agent spawns2026-03-02ghsa · osvUS
### Summary A sandboxed session could use cross-agent `sessions_spawn` to create a child under an agent configured with `sandbox.mode="off"`, downgrading runtime confinement. ### Impact In mixed-agent setups that allow cross-agent spawning, a sandboxed requester could escape into an unsandboxed child runtime. ### Fix Spawn-time sandbox inheritance is now enforced: if the requester is sandboxed and the resolved child runtime would be unsandboxed, spawn is rejected. ### Affected and Patched Versions - Affected: `<= 2026.2.26` - Patched: `2026.3.1`
