Affected packages
• npm openclaw: < 2026.2.15 → fixed in 2026.2.15
Description
Summary
A configuration injection issue in the Docker tool sandbox could allow dangerous Docker options (bind mounts, host networking, unconfined profiles) to be applied, enabling container escape or host data access.
Affected Packages / Versions
• Package: `openclaw` (npm)
• Affected versions: `= 2026.2.15` (next release)
Impact
If an attacker can influence sandbox Docker configuration (or an operator pastes untrusted config), they may be able to:
• mount sensitive host paths (e.g. `/etc`, `/proc`, `/sys`, `/dev`, Docker socket)
• use `network=host` to bypass container network isolation
• use `seccompProfile=unconfined` / `apparmorProfile=unconfined` to weaken isolation
This can lead to host secret exfiltration or full host control (via Docker socket exposure).
Fix
OpenClaw now blocks dangerous sandbox Docker settings:
• runtime enforcement when building `docker create` args
• config-schema validation for `network=host`, `seccompProfile=unconfined`, `apparmorProfile=unconfined`
• security audit findings to surface dangerous sandbox docker config
Workarounds
• Do not configure `agents.*.sandbox.docker.binds` to mount system directories or Docker socket paths.
• Keep `agents.*.sandbox.docker.network` at `none` (default) or `bridge`.
• Do not use `unconfined` for seccomp/AppArmor profiles.

Release Process Note
This advisory is pre-populated with the planned fixed version (`>= 2026.2.15`). Once `[email protected]` is published to npm, publishing this advisory should be a single-click action.
