AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, restrict access to the create_agent delivery-action handler to trusted agents only and monitor for unusual agent creation activities. Avoid relying solely on client-side enforcement for server-side security controls.

Description

NanoClaw before 2.1.17 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the create_agent delivery-action handler that performs privileged central-database writes without host-side authorization checks. Confined agent containers can invoke create_agent to create arbitrary agent groups, container configurations, and destinations, escalating beyond their intended confinement boundary.
