No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-g99v-8hwm-g76g yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-g99v-8hwm-g76g?

GHSA-g99v-8hwm-g76g affects the following packages: openclaw (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix GHSA-g99v-8hwm-g76g?

Update openclaw to 2026.3.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-g99v-8hwm-g76g is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-g99v-8hwm-g76g in my npm dependencies?

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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-g99v-8hwm-g76g 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-g99v-8hwm-g76g?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-g99v-8hwm-g76g is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-g99v-8hwm-g76g actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-g99v-8hwm-g76g 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.

Description

Summary

Gemini web_search citation redirect resolution used a private-network-allowing SSRF policy. A citation URL redirect could target loopback/private/internal destinations and be fetched by the gateway.

Impact

An attacker who can influence citation redirect targets could trigger internal-network requests from the OpenClaw host.

Fix

Citation redirect resolution now uses strict/default SSRF policy (no private-network override), blocking localhost/private/internal redirect targets.
