Summary
Gateway Plugin Subagent Fallback deleteSession Uses Synthetic operator.admin
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw - Affected versions:
<= 2026.3.24 - First patched version:
2026.3.25 - Latest published npm version at verification time:
2026.3.24
Details
Gateway plugin subagent fallback deleteSession previously dispatched sessions.delete with a synthetic operator.admin runtime scope when no request-scoped client existed. Commit b5d785f1a59a56c3471f2cef328f7c9a6c15f3e7 binds deletion to the caller scope instead of minting admin scope.
Verified vulnerable on tag v2026.3.24 and fixed on main by commit b5d785f1a59a56c3471f2cef328f7c9a6c15f3e7.

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 2026.3.28 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-h4jx-hjr3-fhgc 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-h4jx-hjr3-fhgc 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-h4jx-hjr3-fhgc. 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-h4jx-hjr3-fhgc in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-h4jx-hjr3-fhgc across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
