GHSA-52vj-fvrv-7q82 is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.6) vulnerability in openclaw. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-52vj-fvrv-7q82 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
OpenClaw vulnerable to SSRF in src/agents/tools/web-fetch.ts
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

openclawnpmDescription
A weakness has been identified in OpenClaw up to 2026.1.26. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file src/agents/tools/web-fetch.ts of the component assertPublicHostname Handler. Executing a manipulation can lead to server-side request forgery. The attack can be executed remotely. This attack is characterized by high complexity. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. Upgrading to version 2026.1.29 can resolve this issue. This patch is called b623557a2ec7e271bda003eb3ac33fbb2e218505. Upgrading the affected component is advised.

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 2026.1.29 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-52vj-fvrv-7q82 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-52vj-fvrv-7q82 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-52vj-fvrv-7q82. 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-52vj-fvrv-7q82 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-52vj-fvrv-7q82 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
