Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-29613?

CVE-2026-29613 affects the following packages: openclaw (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix CVE-2026-29613?

Update openclaw to 2026.2.12 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-29613 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-29613 in my npm dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-29613 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-29613?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-29613 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is CVE-2026-29613 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-29613 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-29613?

CVE-2026-29613 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 35th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-29613?

CVE-2026-29613 is classified as Missing Authentication (CWE-306). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2026-29613 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-29613 was published on March 5, 2026 and was last updated on August 17, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.12 contain a vulnerability in the BlueBubbles (optional plugin) webhook handler in which it authenticates requests based solely on loopback remoteAddress without validating forwarding headers, allowing bypass of configured webhook passwords. When the gateway operates behind a reverse proxy, unauthenticated remote attackers can inject arbitrary BlueBubbles message and reaction events by reaching the proxy endpoint.
