GHSA-782p-5fr5-7fj8
LOWOpenClaw Affected by Remote Code Execution via System Prompt Injection in Slack Channel Descriptions
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.
Blast Radius
Weekly download volume for affected packages — a proxy for how broadly this vulnerability is deployed.
openclawnpmDescription
Summary
When the Slack integration is enabled, Slack channel metadata (topic/description) could be incorporated into the model's system prompt.
Impact
Prompt injection is a documented risk for LLM-driven systems. This issue increased the injection surface by allowing untrusted Slack channel metadata to be treated as higher-trust system input.
This is relevant only for deployments that enable Slack. In deployments where tool execution is enabled, a successful injection could lead to unintended tool invocations and/or unintended data exposure.
Affected Packages / Versions
- npm:
openclaw< 2026.2.3
Patched Versions
- npm:
openclaw>= 2026.2.3
Mitigation
- If you do not use Slack: no action required.
- If you use Slack: upgrade to a patched version.

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 2026.2.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-782p-5fr5-7fj8 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-782p-5fr5-7fj8 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-782p-5fr5-7fj8. 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-782p-5fr5-7fj8 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-782p-5fr5-7fj8 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
