Which packages are affected by GHSA-q284-4pvr-m585?

GHSA-q284-4pvr-m585 affects the following packages: clawdbot (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix GHSA-q284-4pvr-m585?

Update clawdbot to 2026.1.29 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-q284-4pvr-m585 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-q284-4pvr-m585 in my npm dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for clawdbot. 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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-q284-4pvr-m585 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-q284-4pvr-m585?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-q284-4pvr-m585 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-q284-4pvr-m585 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-q284-4pvr-m585 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-q284-4pvr-m585?

GHSA-q284-4pvr-m585 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.9%, placing it in the 56th 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-q284-4pvr-m585?

GHSA-q284-4pvr-m585 is classified as OS Command Injection (CWE-78). 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-q284-4pvr-m585 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-q284-4pvr-m585 was published on February 2, 2026 and was last updated on February 4, 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

Two related vulnerabilities existed in the macOS application's SSH remote connection handling (CommandResolver.swift):

Details

The sshNodeCommand function constructed a shell script without properly escaping the user-supplied project path in an error message. When the cd command failed, the unescaped path was interpolated directly into an echo statement, allowing arbitrary command execution on the remote SSH host.

The parseSSHTarget function did not validate that SSH target strings could not begin with a dash. An attacker-supplied target like -oProxyCommand=... would be interpreted as an SSH configuration flag rather than a hostname, allowing arbitrary command execution on the local machine.

Impact

An attacker who can influence a user's remote connection settings (via social engineering or malicious configuration) could achieve arbitrary code execution on either the user's local machine or their configured remote SSH host, depending on which input vector is exploited.

Affected component: macOS menubar application (Remote/SSH mode only)

Not affected: CLI (npm install openclaw), web gateway, iOS/Android apps, or users running in Local mode.
