openclawnpmDescription
Summary
skills.status could disclose secrets to operator.read clients by returning raw resolved config values in configChecks for skill requires.config paths.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected:
<= 2026.2.13 - Patched:
2026.2.14
Details
The gateway method skills.status returned a requirements report that included configChecks[].value (the resolved value for each requires.config entry). If a skill required a broad config subtree (for example channels.discord), the report could include secrets such as Discord bot tokens.
skills.status is callable with operator.read, so read-scoped clients could obtain secrets without operator.admin / config.* access.
Fix
- Stop including raw resolved config values in requirement checks (return only
{ path, satisfied }). - Narrow the Discord skill requirement to the token key.

Mitigation
Rotate any Discord tokens that may have been exposed to read-scoped clients.

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-8mh7-phf8-xgfm 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-8mh7-phf8-xgfm can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-8mh7-phf8-xgfm. 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-8mh7-phf8-xgfm in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-8mh7-phf8-xgfm across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
