CVE-2026-32046

Description

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.

PoC / Exploit Code

⚠ For Security Research Only
The following code is for security research and authorized testing only.
python
// PoC Concept: Demonstrating the lack of sandbox protection. // This snippet simulates a renderer process executing a system command, // which would normally be blocked by the OS-level sandbox. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> // Simulated renderer exploit function void simulate_renderer_exploit() { printf("[+] Renderer process compromised...\n"); // Check if sandbox is active (pseudo-code logic) // In a vulnerable build, this check returns false bool is_sandbox_active = false; if (!is_sandbox_active) { printf("[!] Sandbox is DISABLED. Executing code on host OS...\n"); // Arbitrary code execution on the host system system("calc.exe"); // Example: Launch calculator to prove execution printf("[+] Code executed successfully on host.\n"); } else { printf("[-] Sandbox is active. Exploit blocked.\n"); } } int main() { simulate_renderer_exploit(); return 0; }
