CVE-2026-27007 OpenClaw's sandbox config hash sorted primitive arrays and suppressed needed container recreation
OpenClaw's flawed hashing logic allowed stale sandbox containers to persist despite configuration changes, potentially bypassing intended security isolation updates.

What is CVE-2026-27007?
CVE-2026-27007 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Openclaw Openclaw, published on 19 Feb 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
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, 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.
Weakness: CWE-1254
