Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
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.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.19 and involves a race condition during concurrent operations on sandbox containers and browsers. Specifically, when updateRegistry and removeRegistryEntry operations occur simultaneously without proper synchronization or locking, attackers can exploit this to cause registry updates to lose data, bring back entries that were removed, or corrupt the sandbox state. This affects operations such as listing, pruning, and recreating sandbox entries.

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability includes potential data loss in registry updates, resurrection of removed registry entries, and corruption of the sandbox environment. This can lead to inconsistent or unexpected behavior in sandbox containers and browsers, potentially undermining the integrity and reliability of sandbox operations such as listing, pruning, and recreating entries.
