Vulnerability Data

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to version 2026.2.15, `normalizeForHash` in `src/agents/sandbox/config-hash.ts` recursively sorted arrays that contained only primitive values. This made order-sensitive sandbox configuration arrays hash to the same value even when order changed. In OpenClaw sandbox flows,…

more

this hash is used to decide whether existing sandbox containers should be recreated. As a result, order-only config changes (for example Docker `dns` and `binds` array order) could be treated as unchanged and stale containers could be reused. This is a configuration integrity issue affecting sandbox recreation behavior. Starting in version 2026.2.15, array ordering is preserved during hash normalization; only object key ordering remains normalized for deterministic hashing.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

preventdetect

Directly enforces integrity verification of configuration data (including array ordering in sandbox hashes) so that changes trigger container recreation instead of reuse.

prevent

Requires maintaining accurate baseline configurations for sandbox parameters so that order-sensitive settings like dns/binds arrays are treated as distinct states.

prevent

Mandates controlled tracking and approval of configuration changes, ensuring the hash-based recreation decision reflects actual modifications to sandbox settings.
