EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
How urgent is this, really
GHSA-c4qm-58hj-j6pj plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 377,636 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, and reverse-dependency count shows how many other packages break if it stays unpatched.
openclawnpmDescription
Summary
Browser snapshot and screenshot routes could expose internal page content after navigation.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw - Ecosystem: npm
- Affected versions:
< 2026.4.14 - Patched versions:
>= 2026.4.14
Impact
Authenticated browser tool callers could use snapshot, screenshot, or tab routes that did not consistently validate the final browser target after route-driven navigation. In restrictive browser SSRF configurations this could expose content from internal or otherwise disallowed pages.
Technical Details
The fix re-checks browser snapshot, screenshot, and tab route results against the configured browser SSRF policy before returning page content. Regression coverage was added around snapshot/screenshot and tab-route flows.
Fix
The issue was fixed in #66040. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.14, and [email protected] includes the fix.

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.
Fix
Update openclaw to 2026.4.14 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-c4qm-58hj-j6pj 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-c4qm-58hj-j6pj can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-c4qm-58hj-j6pj. 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-c4qm-58hj-j6pj in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-c4qm-58hj-j6pj across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
