How severe is CVE-2026-27002?

No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2026-27002 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-27002?

CVE-2026-27002 affects the following packages: openclaw (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix CVE-2026-27002?

Update openclaw to 2026.2.15 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-27002 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-27002 in my npm dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-27002 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-27002?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-27002 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2026-27002 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-27002 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-27002?

CVE-2026-27002 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.5%, placing it in the 38th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

When was CVE-2026-27002 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-27002 was published on February 19, 2026 and was last updated on April 10, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to version 2026.2.15, a configuration injection issue in the Docker tool sandbox could allow dangerous Docker options (bind mounts, host networking, unconfined profiles) to be applied, enabling container escape or host data access. OpenClaw 2026.2.15 blocks dangerous sandbox Docker settings and includes runtime enforcement when building docker create args; config-schema validation for network=host, seccompProfile=unconfined, apparmorProfile=unconfined; and security audit findings to surface dangerous sandbox docker config. As a workaround, do not configure agents.*.sandbox.docker.binds to mount system directories or Docker socket paths, keep agents.*.sandbox.docker.network at none (default) or bridge, and do not use unconfined for seccomp/AppArmor profiles.
