OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.21 contain an improper sandbox configuration vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by exploiting renderer-side vulnerabilities without requiring a sandbox escape. Attackers can leverage the disabled OS-level sandbox protections in the Chromium browser container to achieve code execution on the host system.

Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • Look for OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot or Clawdbot) processes running without OS-level sandbox protections enabled in the Chromium browser container, which may indicate exploitation of this misconfiguration.
  • Flag OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.21 in asset inventory; these versions are vulnerable to renderer-side code execution without requiring a sandbox escape.
  • ·The vulnerability stems from disabled OS-level sandbox protections in the Chromium browser container bundled with OpenClaw. No sandbox escape is required — renderer-side exploitation is sufficient for host code execution.
  • ·OpenClaw is also tracked under its former names Moltbot and Clawdbot; ensure detection and asset inventory rules cover all three product names.
