Description

Summary

ACP-only provenance fields in chat.send were gated by self-declared client metadata from the WebSocket handshake rather than verified authorization state.

Impact

A normal authenticated operator client could spoof ACP identity labels and inject reserved provenance fields intended only for the ACP bridge.

Affected Component

src/gateway/server-methods/chat.ts, src/gateway/server/ws-connection/message-handler.ts

Fixed Versions

  • Affected: <= 2026.3.24
  • Patched: >= 2026.3.28
  • Latest stable 2026.3.28 contains the fix.

Fix

Fixed by commit 4b9542716c (Gateway: require verified scope for chat provenance).

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 2026.3.28 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-6xg4-82hv-cp6f 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-6xg4-82hv-cp6f can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Tailored to GHSA-6xg4-82hv-cp6f. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
