No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-77q5-rr5v-x43q yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-77q5-rr5v-x43q?

GHSA-77q5-rr5v-x43q affects the following packages: openclaw (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix GHSA-77q5-rr5v-x43q?

Update openclaw to 2026.5.7 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-77q5-rr5v-x43q is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-77q5-rr5v-x43q 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-77q5-rr5v-x43q 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.

Is GHSA-77q5-rr5v-x43q actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-77q5-rr5v-x43q 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-77q5-rr5v-x43q?

GHSA-77q5-rr5v-x43q has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.5%, placing it in the 39th 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-77q5-rr5v-x43q?

GHSA-77q5-rr5v-x43q is classified as CWE-1023 (CWE-1023). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-77q5-rr5v-x43q published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-77q5-rr5v-x43q was published on July 2, 2026 and was last updated on July 8, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Summary

Trusted retry endpoint checks could match hostname prefixes. In affected versions, a retry endpoint URL chosen by lower-trust input could pass validation by using a hostname prefix that resembled a trusted host.

This advisory is scoped to the named feature and configuration. It does not change OpenClaw's trusted-operator model: authenticated Gateway operators, installed plugins, and intentional local execution surfaces remain trusted unless a separate policy, approval, allowlist, sandbox, or auth boundary is crossed.

Impact

When the affected feature is enabled and reachable, this could send authentication material to an endpoint outside the intended trust target. Practical impact depends on the operator's configuration and whether lower-trust input can reach that path.

Patched Versions

The first stable patched version is 2026.5.7.

Mitigations

pin retry endpoints to exact trusted origins until patched. As general hardening, keep channel and tool allowlists narrow, avoid sharing one Gateway between mutually untrusted users, and disable the affected feature when it is not needed.
