No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w?

GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w affects the following packages: openclaw (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w?

Update openclaw to 2026.3.12 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w in my npm dependencies?

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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w?

GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 27th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w?

GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w is classified as CWE-807 (CWE-807). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-f5mf-3r52-r83w was published on March 13, 2026 and was last updated on July 8, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

No confirmed exploitation observed yet

CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

Description

Summary

OpenClaw's Zalouser allowlist mode accepted mutable group names and normalized slugs as authorization matches instead of requiring stable group IDs. In deployments that used name-based channels.zalouser.groups entries together with permissive sender allowlists, a different group could be accepted by reusing the same display name as an allowlisted group.

Impact

This weakened channel authorization for Zalouser group routing and could allow messages from an unintended group to reach the agent when operators relied on group names instead of stable IDs.

Affected versions

openclaw <= 2026.3.11

Patch

Fixed in openclaw 2026.3.12. Allowlist authorization now matches stable group identifiers, and users should update to 2026.3.12 or later.
