OpenClaw < 2026.2.19 - Race Condition in Sandbox Registry Write Operations
Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.19 contain a race condition vulnerability in concurrent updateRegistry and removeRegistryEntry operations for sandbox containers and browsers. Attackers can exploit unsynchronized read-modify-write operations without locking to cause registry updates to lose data, resurrect removed entries, or corrupt sandbox state affecting list, prune, and recreate operations.
