OpenClaw's sandboxed sessions_spawn now enforces sandbox inheritance for cross-agent spawns

Summary A sandboxed session could use cross-agent sessionsspawn to create a child under an agent configured with sandbox.mode="off", downgrading runtime confinement. Impact In mixed-agent setups that allow cross-agent spawning, a sandboxed requester could escape into an unsandboxed child runtime...

GHSA-WR6M-JG37-68XH OpenClaw has unbounded memory growth in Zalo webhook via query-string key churn (unauthenticated DoS)

Summary Unauthenticated requests to a reachable Zalo webhook endpoint could trigger unbounded in-memory key growth by varying query strings on the same valid webhook route. Impact An attacker could cause memory pressure and potential process instability or OOM, degrading availability. Fix Webhook...
