GHSA-r5h9-vjqc-hq3r
GHSA-r5h9-vjqc-hq3r is a CWE-863 vulnerability in @openclaw/nextcloud-talk. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-r5h9-vjqc-hq3r is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Nextcloud Talk allowlist bypass via actor.name display name spoofing
Blast Radius
@openclaw/nextcloud-talkReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects npm packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
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. 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/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 pinpoints whether GHSA-r5h9-vjqc-hq3r 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-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 detects GHSA-r5h9-vjqc-hq3r across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
