Summary
session_status still bypasses configured tools.sessions.visibility for unsandboxed invocations
Current Maintainer Triage
- Status: narrow
- Normalized severity: medium
- Assessment: Real on shipped v2026.3.22: non-sandboxed session_status skipped the shared visibility guard, but this is a same-agent session-policy bypass with unreleased fix, not a broader host-boundary break.

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 2026.3.31 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-fwjq-xwfj-gv75 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-fwjq-xwfj-gv75 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-fwjq-xwfj-gv75. 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-fwjq-xwfj-gv75 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-fwjq-xwfj-gv75 across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
