Description

Summary

The affected surface is the OpenClaw macOS app onboarding flow, and the macOS app is currently in beta. In that beta onboarding flow, Anthropic OAuth used the PKCE code_verifier value as OAuth state, exposing that secret in front-channel URL state.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected versions: <= 2026.2.24 (latest published npm at triage time)
  • Affected surface: macOS app beta onboarding path (apps/macos)
  • Not affected: core CLI/gateway onboarding paths
  • Patched version : 2026.2.25

Impact

Scope is limited to the macOS beta onboarding OAuth path. Exploitation required obtaining both OAuth authorization artifacts and exposed state values during that flow.

Remediation

OpenClaw removed Anthropic OAuth sign-in from macOS onboarding and now supports setup-token-only Anthropic subscription auth in this path.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    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.

  2. Fix

    Update openclaw to 2026.2.25 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-6g25-pc82-vfwp is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-6g25-pc82-vfwp can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Tailored to GHSA-6g25-pc82-vfwp. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
