CVE-2026-32048 Details
Description
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.
A vulnerability in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.1 allows sandboxed sessions to bypass runtime confinement by creating child processes under unsandboxed agents. This is achieved through cross-agent 'sessions_spawn' operations, which, in mixed-agent setups, can lead to unauthorized access to resources or capabilities that are normally restricted within the sandboxed environment.
Users can upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.3.1 or later to address this vulnerability.
