No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-7h7g-x2px-94hj yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-7h7g-x2px-94hj?

GHSA-7h7g-x2px-94hj affects the following packages: openclaw (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix GHSA-7h7g-x2px-94hj?

Update openclaw to 2026.3.12 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7h7g-x2px-94hj is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-7h7g-x2px-94hj 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-7h7g-x2px-94hj 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-7h7g-x2px-94hj actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-7h7g-x2px-94hj 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-7h7g-x2px-94hj?

GHSA-7h7g-x2px-94hj has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 17th 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-7h7g-x2px-94hj?

GHSA-7h7g-x2px-94hj is classified as CWE-522 (CWE-522). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

Description

Summary

OpenClaw pairing setup codes generated by /pair and openclaw qr embedded the configured shared gateway token or password directly in the setup payload. Anyone who obtained that code from chat history, logs, screenshots, or copied QR payloads could recover the long-lived shared credential.

Impact

An attacker with access to a leaked setup code could reuse the shared gateway credential outside the intended one-time pairing flow.

Affected versions

openclaw <= 2026.3.11

Patch

Fixed in openclaw 2026.3.12. Setup codes now carry short-lived bootstrap tokens that are only valid for the initial device bootstrap exchange. Update to 2026.3.12 or later and rotate any previously exposed shared gateway credentials if setup codes may have leaked.
