GHSA-pw7h-9g6p-c378
GHSA-pw7h-9g6p-c378 is a CWE-183 vulnerability in openclaw. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-pw7h-9g6p-c378 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
OpenClaw: Tlon settings empty-allowlist reconciliation bypassed intended revocation

openclawnpmDescription
Summary
Tlon settings reconciliation treated explicit empty allowlists as unset, which could silently undo an intended deny-all revocation.

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 2026.3.22 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-pw7h-9g6p-c378 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-pw7h-9g6p-c378 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-pw7h-9g6p-c378. 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-pw7h-9g6p-c378 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-pw7h-9g6p-c378 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
