How severe is GHSA-9f86-pvv5-rxfw?

No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-9f86-pvv5-rxfw yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-9f86-pvv5-rxfw?

Affected package information for GHSA-9f86-pvv5-rxfw is not yet fully mapped. Check the official advisory links for details.

How do I fix GHSA-9f86-pvv5-rxfw?

Upgrade the affected component to the fixed release for GHSA-9f86-pvv5-rxfw, or apply your distribution's backported patch — distro builds are often patched at an older version number, so check your vendor's advisory rather than the upstream version alone.

How do I detect GHSA-9f86-pvv5-rxfw in my code and dependencies?

Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).

How do I mitigate GHSA-9f86-pvv5-rxfw if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Stop passing untrusted input into the interpreter or shell: call the affected binary with an argument array rather than a composed command string, reject anything outside a strict allowlist of expected values, and run the component under an account that cannot reach beyond the work it legitimately does.

Is GHSA-9f86-pvv5-rxfw actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-9f86-pvv5-rxfw 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-9f86-pvv5-rxfw?

GHSA-9f86-pvv5-rxfw has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 15th 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-9f86-pvv5-rxfw?

GHSA-9f86-pvv5-rxfw is classified as OS Command Injection (CWE-78). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-9f86-pvv5-rxfw published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-9f86-pvv5-rxfw was published on September 26, 2026 and was last updated on October 7, 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

OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 contain a command parser vulnerability where escaped newlines confuse exec allowlist parsing, allowing hidden commands to execute. Attackers can craft input with escaped newlines to bypass allowlist validation and execute additional commands without expected authorization prompts.

Fix
Upgrade the affected component to the fixed release for GHSA-9f86-pvv5-rxfw, or apply your distribution's backported patch — distro builds are often patched at an older version number, so check your vendor's advisory rather than the upstream version alone.
Workarounds
