GHSA-gcj7-r3hg-m7w6 is a low-severity (CVSS 3.7) vulnerability in openclaw. A fix is available for openclaw — see the affected versions and patch details below.
OpenClaw's voice-call Twilio replay dedupe now bound to authenticated webhook identity
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, and reverse-dependency count shows how many other packages break if it stays unpatched.
openclawnpmDescription
Summary
The voice-call Twilio webhook path accepted replay/dedupe identity from unsigned request metadata (i-twilio-idempotency-token), enabling replayed signed requests to bypass replay detection and manager dedupe by mutating only that header.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected versions:
<= 2026.2.25(latest published npm version at triage time) - Fixed on
main: commit1aadf26f9acc399affabd859937a09468a9c5cb4 - Planned patched npm version:
2026.2.26
Impact
Deployments using the optional voice-call Twilio webhook path could accept replayed webhook events as fresh events when an attacker had one valid signed request and changed only the unsigned idempotency header.
Technical Details
The fix removes unsigned-header trust from Twilio replay/dedupe identity and binds replay/manager dedupe to authenticated request material. It also threads a verified request identity through provider parsing so dedupe uses verification-derived identity rather than mutable headers.

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 2026.2.26 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-gcj7-r3hg-m7w6 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-gcj7-r3hg-m7w6 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-gcj7-r3hg-m7w6. 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-gcj7-r3hg-m7w6 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-gcj7-r3hg-m7w6 across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
