How do I detect GHSA-72q8-jcmc-97wx in my npm dependencies?

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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-72q8-jcmc-97wx if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-72q8-jcmc-97wx?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-72q8-jcmc-97wx can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-72q8-jcmc-97wx actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-72q8-jcmc-97wx yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-72q8-jcmc-97wx?

GHSA-72q8-jcmc-97wx has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 19th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-72q8-jcmc-97wx?

Description

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: openclaw (npm)
Affected versions: < 2026.4.20
Patched version: 2026.4.20

Impact

Feishu card-action callbacks could synthesize a message event with DM conversations classified as group conversations. That skipped dmPolicy enforcement for card actions, so a sender in a Feishu DM could trigger card-action flows that should have been blocked by a restrictive DM policy.

The issue is limited to Feishu card-action handling. Severity is medium.

Fix

OpenClaw now resolves Feishu card-action chat type before dispatch, including API lookup when stored context is unavailable, and avoids falling through to group handling for DMs.

Fix commit:
