GHSA-g99v-8hwm-g76g
OpenClaw has web_search citation redirect SSRF via private-network-allowing policy
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

openclawnpmDescription
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.

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 2026.3.1 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.
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-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.
Tailored to GHSA-g99v-8hwm-g76g. 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-g99v-8hwm-g76g in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-g99v-8hwm-g76g across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
