openclawnpmDescription
Summary
Gateway HTTP /sessions/:sessionKey/kill Reaches Admin Kill Path Without Caller Scope Binding.
Details
The HTTP route previously treated any bearer-authenticated request as admin-eligible and could call without binding the action to requester ownership or caller-granted operator scopes. The flaw removes the bearer-token admin fallback and keeps remote session kills on the local-admin or requester-owned path only.

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.
Remediation status
No patched version of openclaw has shipped for GHSA-9p93-7j67-5pc2 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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-9p93-7j67-5pc2 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-9p93-7j67-5pc2. 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-9p93-7j67-5pc2 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-9p93-7j67-5pc2 across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
