CVE-2026-44112 is a critical time-of-check/time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in the OpenShell managed sandbox backend of OpenClaw. In affected versions prior to 2026.4.22 / before April 23, 2026, filesystem write operations within the sandbox validate a target path against the intended mount root, but an attacker can win a race by swapping the checked path with a symlink or other redirect before the write occurs. This allows write operations to be redirected outside the sandbox boundary and outside the intended local mount root, defeating the filesystem isolation enforced by OpenShell.

A critical OpenClaw vulnerability involving a timing gap in the sandboxed execution environment that allows attackers to bypass validation, write outside the sandbox boundary, tamper with system configuration, and establish persistent backdoors.
A critical OpenClaw sandbox escape / TOCTOU-style flaw that lets attackers redirect write operations outside the sandbox boundary, tamper with system configuration, and establish persistent backdoors on the host.
A critical vulnerability in OpenClaw that allows attackers to bypass security boundaries and install persistent backdoors. It is the most severe flaw in the Claw Chain set affecting versions released before April 23, 2026.
A critical TOCTOU race condition in the OpenShell sandbox that allows write operations to escape the sandbox, enabling configuration tampering and persistent backdoor installation on the host.
