OpenClaw: Docker container escape via unvalidated bind mount config injection
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
A configuration injection issue in the Docker tool sandbox could allow dangerous Docker options (bind mounts, host networking, unconfined profiles) to be applied, enabling container escape or host data access.
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw` (npm)
- Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.14`
- Fixed version: `>= 2026.2.15` (next release)
## Impact
If an attacker can influence sandbox Docker configuration (or an operator pastes untrusted config), they may be able to:
- mount sensitive host paths (e.g. `/etc`, `/proc`, `/sys`, `/dev`, Docker socket)
- use `network=host` to bypass container network isolation
- use `seccompProfile=unconfined` / `apparmorProfile=unconfined` to weaken isolation
This can lead to host secret exfiltration or full host control (via Docker socket exposure).
## Fix
OpenClaw now blocks dangerous sandbox Docker settings:
- runtime enforcement when building `docker create` args
- config-schema validation for `network=host`, `seccompProfile=unconfined`, `apparmorProfile=unconfined`
- security audit findings to surface dangerous sandbox docker config
## Workarounds
- Do not configure `agents.*.sandbox.docker.binds` to mount system directories or Docker socket paths.
- Keep `agents.*.sandbox.docker.network` at `none` (default) or `bridge`.
- Do not use `unconfined` for seccomp/AppArmor profiles.
## Fix Commit(s)

## Release Process Note
This advisory is pre-populated with the planned fixed version (`>= 2026.2.15`). Once `[email protected]` is published to npm, publishing this advisory should be a single-click action.
Thanks @aether-ai-agent for reporting.
