GHSA-4p4f-fc8q-84m3
Fix: openclaw/openclaw@49d0838GHSA-4p4f-fc8q-84m3 is a CWE-346 vulnerability in openclaw. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-4p4f-fc8q-84m3 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
OpenClaw: iOS A2UI bridge trusted generic local-network pages for agent.request dispatch
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, a proxy for how much of the ecosystem is exposed.
openclawnpmDescription
Summary
Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, the iOS A2UI bridge treated generic local-network pages as trusted bridge origins. A page loaded from a local-network or tailnet host could trigger agent.request dispatch without the stricter trusted-canvas origin check.
Impact
A loaded attacker-controlled page could inject unauthorized non-owner agent.request runs into the active iOS node session, polluting session state and consuming budget. The demonstrated impact did not include owner-only actions or arbitrary host execution.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update openclaw to 2026.4.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-4p4f-fc8q-84m3 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 pinpoints whether GHSA-4p4f-fc8q-84m3 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-4p4f-fc8q-84m3. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
