Summary
Matrix Verification Notices Bypass Matrix DM Policy and Reply to Unpaired DM Peers
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw - Affected versions:
<= 2026.3.24 - First patched version:
2026.3.25 - Latest published npm version at verification time:
2026.3.24
Details
Matrix verification notices previously bypassed DM access checks and could reply to peers that were unpaired or otherwise outside the allowed DM policy. Commit 2383daf5c4a4e08d9553e0e949552ad755ef9ec2 gates verification notices on DM access before sending.
Verified vulnerable on tag v2026.3.24 and fixed on main by commit 2383daf5c4a4e08d9553e0e949552ad755ef9ec2.

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.
Remediation status
No patched version of openclaw has shipped for GHSA-9wqx-g2cw-vc7r 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 pinpoints whether GHSA-9wqx-g2cw-vc7r 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-9wqx-g2cw-vc7r. 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-9wqx-g2cw-vc7r in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-9wqx-g2cw-vc7r across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
