Technical details
OpenShell for Linux contains a sandbox escape vulnerability (CVE-2026-65093) that allows an attacker to circumvent container isolation mechanisms. The vulnerability can be exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution outside the sandbox boundary, leading to privilege escalation, data tampering, and information disclosure. The attack vector and specific preconditions are not detailed in the available advisory text, but successful exploitation bypasses intended security boundaries. Patches are anticipated given the critical severity rating and public disclosure date of August 25, 2026.
