Exploitation Status

No confirmed exploitation observed yet

  • CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
  • CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

Description

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected versions: < 2026.4.20
  • Patched version: 2026.4.20

Impact

Templated hook mapping sessionKey values were treated differently from request-supplied session keys. A hook mapping could render an externally influenced session key even when hooks.allowRequestSessionKey was disabled, bypassing the intended routing opt-in for hook callers.

This affects webhook routing isolation. It does not grant host execution by itself. Severity is medium.

Fix

Template-rendered mapping session keys are now treated as externally supplied routing input and require hooks.allowRequestSessionKey=true plus the existing prefix policy checks.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    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.

  2. Fix

    Update openclaw to 2026.4.20 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-2xcp-x87w-q377 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-2xcp-x87w-q377 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Tailored to GHSA-2xcp-x87w-q377. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
