OpenClaw: Chrome --no-sandbox disabled OS-level browser sandbox in sandbox browser container
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
Sandbox browser container launched Chromium with `--no-sandbox` by default, disabling Chromium's OS-level sandbox protections.
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw` (npm ecosystem)
- Latest published npm version at triage time (2026-02-21): `2026.2.19-2`
- Affected range: `<= 2026.2.19-2`
- Planned patched version for next release: `2026.2.21`
## Impact
When `--no-sandbox` is enabled by default, renderer compromise no longer requires a separate sandbox escape. This weakens container browser isolation and increases impact from renderer-side bugs.
## Resolution
- Default `--no-sandbox` removed from sandbox browser entrypoint.
- Explicit opt-in added via `OPENCLAW_BROWSER_NO_SANDBOX` / `CLAWDBOT_BROWSER_NO_SANDBOX`.
- Browser container hash migration + security audit checks added so stale containers are surfaced and can be recreated safely.

## Release Process Note
The advisory `patched_versions` field is pre-set to the planned next release (`2026.2.21`). After npm release publication, only advisory publish action should remain.
OpenClaw thanks @TerminalsandCoffee for reporting.
