OpenClaw's serialize sandbox registry writes to prevent races and delete-rollback corruption
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Impact
Concurrent `updateRegistry`/`removeRegistryEntry` operations for sandbox containers and browsers could lose updates or resurrect removed entries under race conditions.
The registry writes were read-modify-write in a window with no locking and permissive fallback parsing, so concurrent registry updates could produce stale snapshots and overwrite each other.
That desyncs sandbox state and can affect `sandbox list`, `sandbox prune`, and `sandbox recreate --all` behavior.
