CVE-2026-39398: openclaw-claude-bridge: sandbox is not effective - `--allowed-tools ""` does not restrict available tools

April 8, 2026

  • All CLI tools (Read/Write/Bash/WebFetch/…) remain nominally available to the spawned subprocess.
  • Actual execution behavior in --print non-interactive mode depends on undocumented CLI defaults (may auto-deny, may error out, may hang).
  • Users who deploy the bridge behind any interface that forwards untrusted prompts (e.g., publicly exposed OpenClaw gateway, automated pipelines with web-fetched context, agents that consume tool results from other systems) may be relying on a sandbox that does not exist.

The README explicitly makes a security claim the code does not uphold, creating a false sense of safety for downstream operators. If the underlying CLI behavior changes in a future version to auto-allow tools in --print mode, prompt-injection attacks could trigger arbitrary Read/Write/Bash operations in the gateway’s process context.
