How do I detect GHSA-43x4-g22p-3hrq 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 GHSA-43x4-g22p-3hrq 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.

Is GHSA-43x4-g22p-3hrq actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-43x4-g22p-3hrq 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 GHSA-43x4-g22p-3hrq?

GHSA-43x4-g22p-3hrq has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 24th 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.

Description

Summary

Sandbox browser container launched Chromium with --no-sandbox by default, disabling Chromium's OS-level sandbox protections.

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: openclaw (npm ecosystem)
Latest published npm version at triage time (2026-02-21): 2026.2.19-2
Affected range: <= 2026.2.19-2
Planned patched version for next release: 2026.2.21

Impact

When --no-sandbox is enabled by default, renderer compromise no longer requires a separate sandbox escape. This weakens container browser isolation and increases impact from renderer-side bugs.

Resolution

Default --no-sandbox removed from sandbox browser entrypoint.
Explicit opt-in added via OPENCLAW_BROWSER_NO_SANDBOX / CLAWDBOT_BROWSER_NO_SANDBOX.
Browser container hash migration + security audit checks added so stale containers are surfaced and can be recreated safely.

Release Process Note

The advisory patched_versions field is pre-set to the planned next release (2026.2.21). After npm release publication, only advisory publish action should remain.

OpenClaw thanks @TerminalsandCoffee for reporting.
