openclawnpmDescription
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected versions:
>= 2026.4.5, < 2026.4.20 - Patched version:
2026.4.20
Impact
A malicious workspace .env could set MINIMAX_API_HOST and redirect credentialed MiniMax requests to an attacker-controlled origin, exposing the MiniMax API key in the outbound Authorization header.
This requires running OpenClaw from an attacker-controlled workspace. Severity is medium.
Fix
OpenClaw now blocks MINIMAX_API_HOST from workspace dotenv injection and removes env-driven URL routing from the affected MiniMax request path.

Fixed in OpenClaw 2026.4.20.

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 2026.4.20 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-h2vw-ph2c-jvwf 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-h2vw-ph2c-jvwf can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-h2vw-ph2c-jvwf. 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-h2vw-ph2c-jvwf in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-h2vw-ph2c-jvwf across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
