Description

Impact

OpenClaw node.invoke(browser.proxy) bypasses browser.request persistent profile-mutation guard.

node.invoke(browser.proxy) could mutate persistent browser profiles through a path that bypassed the browser.request guard.

OpenClaw is a user-controlled local assistant. This advisory is scoped to the OpenClaw trust model and does not assume a multi-tenant service boundary.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected versions: <= v2026.04.01
  • Patched versions: 2026.4.8

Fix

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    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.

  2. Fix

    Update openclaw to 2026.4.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-cmfr-9m2r-xwhq is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-cmfr-9m2r-xwhq 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-cmfr-9m2r-xwhq. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
