Which packages are affected by GHSA-j4c5-89f5-f3pm?

GHSA-j4c5-89f5-f3pm affects the following packages: openclaw (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix GHSA-j4c5-89f5-f3pm?

Update openclaw to 2026.4.20 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-j4c5-89f5-f3pm is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-j4c5-89f5-f3pm in my npm dependencies?

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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-j4c5-89f5-f3pm 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-j4c5-89f5-f3pm?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-j4c5-89f5-f3pm can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-j4c5-89f5-f3pm actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-j4c5-89f5-f3pm 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.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-j4c5-89f5-f3pm?

GHSA-j4c5-89f5-f3pm has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 16th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-j4c5-89f5-f3pm?

GHSA-j4c5-89f5-f3pm is classified as Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CWE-918). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-j4c5-89f5-f3pm published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-j4c5-89f5-f3pm was published on April 25, 2026 and was last updated on July 8, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: openclaw (npm)
Affected versions: < 2026.4.20
Patched version: 2026.4.20

Impact

Browser profile creation normalized cdpUrl values before persisting them, but did not apply the configured browser SSRF policy at creation time. In deployments that explicitly disabled private-network CDP targets, a stored profile could still point at a private-network or metadata endpoint and later be probed by normal profile status flows.

Default trusted-operator browser behavior allows private-network CDP endpoints, so this only affected strict-mode deployments. Severity is low.

Fix

OpenClaw now checks CDP endpoints against the browser SSRF policy during profile creation and reachability operations.
