GHSA-r5h9-vjqc-hq3r — @openclaw/nextcloud-talk
Fix: openclaw/openclaw@660f872GHSA-r5h9-vjqc-hq3r is a CWE-863 vulnerability in @openclaw/nextcloud-talk. A fix is available for @openclaw/nextcloud-talk — see the affected versions and patch details below.
Nextcloud Talk allowlist bypass via actor.name display name spoofing
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, and reverse-dependency count shows how many other packages break if it stays unpatched.
@openclaw/nextcloud-talknpmDescription
Summary
In affected versions of the optional Nextcloud Talk plugin (installed separately; not bundled with the core OpenClaw install), an untrusted webhook field (actor.name, display name) could be treated as an allowlist identifier. An attacker could change their Nextcloud display name to match an allowlisted user ID and bypass DM or room allowlists.
Details
Nextcloud Talk webhook payloads provide a stable sender identifier (actor.id) and a mutable display name (actor.name). In affected versions, the plugin’s allowlist matching accepted equality on the display name, which is attacker-controlled.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @openclaw/nextcloud-talk, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update @openclaw/nextcloud-talk to 2026.2.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-r5h9-vjqc-hq3r 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-r5h9-vjqc-hq3r can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-r5h9-vjqc-hq3r. 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-r5h9-vjqc-hq3r in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-r5h9-vjqc-hq3r across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
