Description

Summary

Workspace provider auth choices could auto-enable untrusted provider plugins.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw
  • Ecosystem: npm
  • Affected versions: < 2026.4.9
  • Patched versions: >= 2026.4.9

Impact

Non-interactive onboarding could select a provider auth choice shadowed by an untrusted workspace plugin, auto-enabling that plugin during auth setup.

Technical Details

The fix prefers trusted provider origins for auth choices and excludes untrusted workspace choices unless they are explicitly enabled.

Fix

The issue was fixed in #62368. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.9, and [email protected] includes the fix.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    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.

  2. Fix

    Update openclaw to 2026.4.9 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-939r-rj45-g2rj is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.
