How do I mitigate GHSA-8372-7vhw-cm6q 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-8372-7vhw-cm6q?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-8372-7vhw-cm6q can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-8372-7vhw-cm6q actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-8372-7vhw-cm6q 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-8372-7vhw-cm6q?

GHSA-8372-7vhw-cm6q has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 27th 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-8372-7vhw-cm6q?

Description

Summary

config.get redaction bypass through sourceConfig and runtimeConfig aliases.

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: openclaw
Ecosystem: npm
Affected versions: < 2026.4.14
Patched versions: >= 2026.4.14

Impact

An authenticated gateway client with config read access could receive unredacted secrets through alias fields that survived redaction, including provider API keys, gateway auth material, and channel credentials.

Technical Details

The fix explicitly overwrites sourceConfig and runtimeConfig with the same redacted copies used for resolved and config, including the invalid-snapshot branch. Tests now cover both alias fields.

Fix

The issue was fixed in #66030. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.14, and [email protected] includes the fix.
