GHSA-8jpq-5h99-ff5r is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) Path Traversal vulnerability in openclaw. A fix is available for openclaw — see the affected versions and patch details below.
OpenClaw has a local file disclosure via sendMediaFeishu in Feishu extension
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.
Exploitation and automatability from CISA’s SSVC triage for GHSA-8jpq-5h99-ff5r.
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.
How urgent is this, really
GHSA-8jpq-5h99-ff5r plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 377,166 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, and reverse-dependency count shows how many other packages break if it stays unpatched.
openclawnpmDescription
Summary
The Feishu extension previously allowed sendMediaFeishu to treat attacker-controlled mediaUrl values as local filesystem paths and read them directly.
Affected versions
< 2026.2.14
Patched versions
>= 2026.2.14
Impact
If an attacker can influence tool calls (directly or via prompt injection), they may be able to exfiltrate local files by supplying paths such as /etc/passwd as mediaUrl.
Remediation
Upgrade to OpenClaw 2026.2.14 or newer.
Notes
The fix removes direct local file reads from this path and routes media loading through hardened helpers that enforce local-root restrictions.
Fix commit 5b4121d60 confirmed on main and in v2026.2.14. Upgrade to openclaw >= 2026.2.14.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
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.
Fix
Update openclaw to 2026.2.14 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-8jpq-5h99-ff5r 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-8jpq-5h99-ff5r can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-8jpq-5h99-ff5r. 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-8jpq-5h99-ff5r in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-8jpq-5h99-ff5r across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
