| A lot of us here run local LLMs and connect them to agent frameworks for tool calling. If you're using OpenClaw for this, you need to update immediately.Ant AI Security Lab (Ant Group's security research team) just spent 3 days auditing the framework and submitted 33 vulnerability reports. 8 were just patched in 2026.3.28 — including a Critical privilege escalation and a High severity sandbox escape.The scariest part for local setups? The sandbox escape lets the message tool bypass isolation and read arbitrary local files on your host system. If your LLM hallucinates or gets hit with a prompt injection while using that tool, your host files are exposed.Stay safe, y'all. Never trust the wrapper blindly just because the LLM is running locally.Full advisory list: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories [link] [comments] |

Key Points
- Ant AI Security Lab audited the OpenClaw agent/tool-calling framework and reported 33 vulnerabilities, with multiple issues patched in the 2026.3.28 update.
- The update includes a Critical privilege escalation and a High-severity sandbox escape that can allow the tool layer to break isolation.
- The sandbox escape is especially dangerous for local LLM setups because it can bypass isolation to read arbitrary files from the host system.
- The article warns that prompt injection or hallucinations combined with tool access can expose local data, so users should not trust wrappers without verifying security.
- Users are urged to update immediately and review the full advisories on OpenClaw’s GitHub security page.
