Fix: openclaw/openclaw#63551GHSA-jf25-7968-h2h5 is a security vulnerability in openclaw. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-jf25-7968-h2h5 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
OpenClaw: screen_record outPath bypassed workspace-only filesystem guard
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, a proxy for how much of the ecosystem is exposed.
openclawnpmDescription
Summary
screen_record outPath bypassed workspace-only filesystem guard.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw - Ecosystem: npm
- Affected versions:
< 2026.4.10 - Patched versions:
>= 2026.4.10
Impact
The node-host screen recording tool could honor an outPath outside the workspace guard, allowing an authorized tool call to write outside the intended workspace boundary.
Technical Details
The fix applies the workspace-root guard to node tool outPath handling, including screen recording paths.
Fix
The issue was fixed in #63551. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.10, and [email protected] includes the fix.

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 2026.4.10 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-jf25-7968-h2h5 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-jf25-7968-h2h5 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-jf25-7968-h2h5. 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-jf25-7968-h2h5 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-jf25-7968-h2h5 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
