Description

Summary

CDP /json/version WebSocket URL could pivot to untrusted second-hop targets.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw
  • Ecosystem: npm
  • Affected versions: < 2026.4.5
  • Patched versions: >= 2026.4.5

Impact

A browser profile could trust a CDP /json/version response whose webSocketDebuggerUrl pointed at a different host, enabling a second-hop SSRF-style pivot.

Technical Details

The fix normalizes and re-validates direct CDP WebSocket targets before connecting.

Fix

The issue was fixed in #60469. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.5, and [email protected] includes the 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 2026.4.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-f7fh-qg34-x2xh 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-f7fh-qg34-x2xh 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-f7fh-qg34-x2xh. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
