GHSA-jr6x-2q95-fh2g
OpenClaw's authorization mismatch allowed write-scope agent runs to reach owner-only tools

openclawnpmDescription
Summary
An authorization mismatch allowed authenticated callers with operator.write access to invoke owner-only tool surfaces (gateway, cron) through agent runs in scoped-token deployments.
Impact
On affected deployments, write-scoped callers could perform control-plane actions beyond intended write scope.
Fix
Owner-only gating is now enforced consistently for owner-only tool surfaces during agent execution, and tool scope classification was tightened to remove the privilege mismatch.

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 2026.3.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-jr6x-2q95-fh2g 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-jr6x-2q95-fh2g 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-jr6x-2q95-fh2g. 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-jr6x-2q95-fh2g in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-jr6x-2q95-fh2g across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
