OpenClaw skills.status could leak secrets to operator.read clients
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.

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. 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 2026.2.14 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 pinpoints whether GHSA-8mh7-phf8-xgfm 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-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 detects GHSA-8mh7-phf8-xgfm across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
