Publication date: 2026-03-19

Last updated on: 2026-03-23

Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
OpenClaw before 2026.2.24 contains a sandbox network isolation bypass vulnerability that allows trusted operators to join another container's network namespace. Attackers can configure the docker.network parameter with container:<id> values to reach services in target container namespaces and bypass network hardening controls.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in OpenClaw versions before 2026.2.24 and involves a sandbox network isolation bypass. It allows trusted operators to join the network namespace of another container. By configuring the docker.network parameter with container:<id> values, attackers can access services inside target container namespaces, effectively bypassing network hardening controls.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can have a severe impact as it allows attackers to bypass network isolation between containers. This can lead to unauthorized access to services running inside other containers, potentially exposing sensitive data, compromising containerized applications, and undermining the security boundaries intended by container network isolation.
