Fix: openclaw/openclaw#66030GHSA-8372-7vhw-cm6q is a security vulnerability in openclaw. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-8372-7vhw-cm6q is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
OpenClaw: config.get redaction bypass through sourceConfig and runtimeConfig aliases
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, a proxy for how much of the ecosystem is exposed.
openclawnpmDescription
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.

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 2026.4.14 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-8372-7vhw-cm6q 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-8372-7vhw-cm6q 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-8372-7vhw-cm6q. 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-8372-7vhw-cm6q in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-8372-7vhw-cm6q across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
