Command Injection in OpenClaw Docker Sandbox via PATH Manipulation
CVE-2026-24763 is a command injection vulnerability in OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot) affecting versions prior to 2026.1.29. The flaw exists in the Docker sandbox execution mechanism due to unsafe handling of the PATH environment variable while constructing shell commands. An authenticated user who can control environment variables passed into the Docker execution context can manipulate PATH so that unintended commands are executed within the container context. Supporting reporting also describes the issue as enabling a Docker sandbox escape or host access via PATH manipulation in certain deployments.
