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. 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.
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 pinpoints whether GHSA-fwjq-xwfj-gv75 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-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 detects GHSA-fwjq-xwfj-gv75 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
