Description

Summary Sandbox browser container launched Chromium with `--no-sandbox` by default, disabling Chromium's OS-level sandbox protections. Affected Packages / Versions • Package: `openclaw` (npm ecosystem) • Latest published npm version at triage time (2026-02-21): `2026.2.19-2` • Affected range: `<= 2026.2.19-2` • Planned patched version for next release: `2026.2.21` Impact When `--no-sandbox` is enabled by default, renderer compromise no longer requires a separate sandbox escape. This weakens container browser isolation and increases impact from renderer-side bugs. Resolution • Default `--no-sandbox` removed from sandbox browser entrypoint. • Explicit opt-in added via `OPENCLAW_BROWSER_NO_SANDBOX` / `CLAWDBOT_BROWSER_NO_SANDBOX`. • Browser container hash migration + security audit checks added so stale containers are surfaced and can be recreated safely. Fix Commit(s) • e7eba01efc4c3c400e9cfd3ce3d661cbc788a631 • 1835dec2004fe7a62c6a7ba46b8485f124ec6199 Release Process Note The advisory `patched_versions` field is pre-set to the planned next release (`2026.2.21`). After npm release publication, only advisory publish action should remain. OpenClaw thanks @TerminalsandCoffee for reporting.
