Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.11 contains a sandbox boundary bypass vulnerability allowing leaf subagents to access the subagents control surface and resolve against parent requester scope instead of their own session tree. A low-privilege sandboxed leaf worker can steer or kill sibling runs and cause execution with broader tool policies by exploiting insufficient authorization checks on subagent control requests.
Analysis
Sandbox escape in OpenClaw versions before 2026.3.11 enables low-privilege leaf subagents to bypass isolation boundaries and manipulate sibling processes with elevated tool policies. Local authenticated attackers can terminate competing worker threads, redirect execution flows, and execute operations outside their intended security context by exploiting insufficient authorization on subagent control APIs. …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Identify all systems running OpenClaw versions before 2026.3.11 and assess current deployment architecture for privilege separation. Within 7 days: Implement network segmentation to restrict local access to OpenClaw processes and review access logs for unauthorized process manipulation. …
