GHSA-9q7v-8mr7-g23p is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.3) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in openclaw. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-9q7v-8mr7-g23p is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Summary
SSRF via Unguarded fetch() in Marketplace Plugin Download and Ollama Model Discovery
Current Maintainer Triage
- Status: narrow
- Normalized severity: medium
- Assessment: Keep the shipped marketplace archive-fetch SSRF, but narrow out the Ollama half because it is operator-configured and overlaps weaker trust-model or duplicate SSRF ground.

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 2026.3.31 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-9q7v-8mr7-g23p 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-9q7v-8mr7-g23p 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-9q7v-8mr7-g23p. 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-9q7v-8mr7-g23p in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-9q7v-8mr7-g23p across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
