Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-32918?

CVE-2026-32918 affects the following packages: openclaw (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix CVE-2026-32918?

Update openclaw to 2026.3.11 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-32918 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-32918 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-2026-32918 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-2026-32918?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-32918 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is CVE-2026-32918 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-32918 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-2026-32918?

CVE-2026-32918 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.1%, placing it in the 3th 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-2026-32918?

CVE-2026-32918 is classified as CWE-863 (CWE-863). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2026-32918 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-32918 was published on March 29, 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

Summary

The built-in session_status tool did not enforce the intended session-visibility boundary. A sandboxed subagent could supply another session's sessionKey and inspect or modify state outside its own sandbox scope.

Impact

This allowed a sandboxed child session to read parent or sibling session data and, in affected releases, update the target session's persisted model override.

Affected versions

openclaw <= 2026.3.8

Patch

Fixed in openclaw 2026.3.11 and included in later releases such as 2026.3.12. Session visibility checks now enforce the sandbox boundary before reading or mutating session state.
