OpenClaw < 2026.2.23 - Sandbox Boundary Bypass via Image Tool workspaceOnly Bypass

6.0 MediumFix available

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.23 contain a sandbox bypass vulnerability in the sandboxed image tool that fails to enforce tools.fs.workspaceOnly restrictions on mounted sandbox paths, allowing attackers to read out-of-workspace files. Attackers can load restricted mounted images and exfiltrate them through vision model provider requests to bypass sandbox confidentiality controls.

OpenClaw's image tool bypasses tools.fs.workspaceOnly on sandbox mount paths and exfiltrates out-of-workspace images

Summary

In OpenClaw, the sandboxed image tool did not honor tools.fs.workspaceOnly=true for mounted paths resolved by the sandbox FS bridge. This allowed reading out-of-workspace mounted images (for example /agent/*) and forwarding those bytes to vision model providers.

Impact

Sandbox boundary bypass with confidentiality impact. In affected versions, read/write/edit respected workspace-only guardrails, but image could still load mounted out-of-workspace files and exfiltrate them via model requests.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected versions: <= 2026.2.22-2
  • Patched versions: >= 2026.2.23 (released)
  • Latest published npm at triage time: 2026.2.22-2

Technical Details

workspaceOnly was enforced in sandbox file tools and apply_patch, but not propagated/enforced for image sandbox path resolution. The fix threads workspaceOnly into image-tool construction and asserts sandbox-root containment before loading media bytes.
