GHSA-392f-ggf5-fp3c is a security vulnerability in openclaw. A fix is available for openclaw — see the affected versions and patch details below.
OpenClaw: Unicode canonicalization drift in node metadata policy classification could broaden node allowlists
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, and reverse-dependency count shows how many other packages break if it stays unpatched.
openclawnpmDescription
Summary
A paired node could supply Unicode-confusable platform or deviceFamily metadata that passed metadata pinning but classified differently for command policy resolution, broadening default node command allowlists.
Impact
This is a policy-bypass issue within the paired-node trust boundary and can expand node command availability beyond intended defaults.
Fix
Node metadata canonicalization was hardened against confusables, and unknown platform defaults were made conservative (excluding system.run and system.which unless explicitly allowlisted).

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
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.
Fix
Update openclaw to 2026.3.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-392f-ggf5-fp3c is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
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.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-392f-ggf5-fp3c can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-392f-ggf5-fp3c. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-392f-ggf5-fp3c in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-392f-ggf5-fp3c across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
