Summary
OpenClaw: Sandboxed sessions_spawn(runtime="acp") bypassed sandbox inheritance and allowed host ACP initialization
Details
Summary
Sandboxed sessions_spawn(runtime="acp") could bypass sandbox inheritance and initialize host-side ACP runtime. The fix now fail-closes ACP spawn from sandboxed requester sessions and rejects sandbox="require" for runtime="acp".
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Latest published npm version at triage time:
2026.3.1(March 2, 2026) - Vulnerable range:
<=2026.3.1 - Patched release:
2026.3.2(released)
Technical Details
- Root cause:
runtime="subagent"enforced sandbox inheritance, whileruntime="acp"did not enforce equivalent sandbox/runtime checks. - Security impact: sandbox-boundary bypass into host-side ACP initialization.
- Fixed behavior:
- deny ACP spawn when requester runtime is sandboxed
- deny
sessions_spawnwithruntime="acp", sandbox="require" - align sandboxed prompt guidance to avoid advertising blocked ACP paths
