Summary
Google Chat Authz Bypass via Group Policy Rebinding with Mutable Space displayName
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw - Affected versions:
<= 2026.3.24 - First patched version:
2026.3.25 - Latest published npm version at verification time:
2026.3.24
Details
Google Chat group authorization previously relied on mutable space display names, which allowed policy rebinding when names changed or collided. Commit 11ea1f67863d88b6cbcb229dd368a45e07094bff requires stable group IDs for access decisions.
Verified vulnerable on tag v2026.3.24 and fixed on main by commit 11ea1f67863d88b6cbcb229dd368a45e07094bff.

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 2026.3.28 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-52q4-3xjc-6778 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-52q4-3xjc-6778 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-52q4-3xjc-6778. 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-52q4-3xjc-6778 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-52q4-3xjc-6778 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
