Which packages are affected by GHSA-98ch-45wp-ch47?

GHSA-98ch-45wp-ch47 affects the following packages: openclaw (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix GHSA-98ch-45wp-ch47?

Update openclaw to 2026.4.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-98ch-45wp-ch47 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-98ch-45wp-ch47 in my npm dependencies?

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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-98ch-45wp-ch47 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-98ch-45wp-ch47?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-98ch-45wp-ch47 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-98ch-45wp-ch47 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-98ch-45wp-ch47 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-98ch-45wp-ch47?

GHSA-98ch-45wp-ch47 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 18th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-98ch-45wp-ch47?

GHSA-98ch-45wp-ch47 is classified as CWE-184 (CWE-184). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-98ch-45wp-ch47 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-98ch-45wp-ch47 was published on April 7, 2026 and was last updated on July 8, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Summary

Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, system-run approval binding normalized environment override keys differently from host execution. Windows-compatible keys could be omitted from the approval binding while still being injected at execution time.

Impact

An approved command could run with attacker-chosen environment overrides that were not represented in the approval binding. This created an approval-integrity gap for affected host-exec flows.

Fix Commit(s)

7eb094a00d80e9f6bf0e62f2c45d3b88ff67c04d — align approval binding with execution-time env-key normalization

Release Process Note

The fix is present on main and is staged for OpenClaw 2026.4.2. Publish this advisory after the 2026.4.2 npm release is live.

Thanks @iskindar for reporting, and thanks @wsparks-vc for coordination.
