Description

Summary

The QMD backend memory_get read path accepted arbitrary workspace Markdown paths that were inside the workspace but outside the canonical memory locations or indexed QMD result set.

Impact

When the QMD backend was enabled, a caller with access to memory_get could read arbitrary *.md files under the configured workspace root, even when those files were not canonical memory files and had not been returned by QMD search. Severity remains low because exploitation requires access to the memory tool surface and is limited to workspace Markdown files, but it bypassed the intended memory-path policy.

Affected versions

  • Affected: < 2026.4.15
  • Patched: 2026.4.15

Fix

OpenClaw 2026.4.15 restricts QMD reads to canonical memory paths or previously indexed QMD workspace paths. Workspace containment alone is no longer sufficient.

Verified in v2026.4.15:

  • extensions/memory-core/src/memory/qmd-manager.ts rejects non-default workspace Markdown paths unless they match an indexed QMD workspace read path.
  • extensions/memory-core/src/memory/qmd-manager.test.ts covers QMD session search-result reads and the read-path restriction behavior.

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, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update openclaw to 2026.4.15 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-f934-5rqf-xx47 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-f934-5rqf-xx47 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Tailored to GHSA-f934-5rqf-xx47. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
