Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-rm5c-4rmf-vvhw 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.

Is GHSA-rm5c-4rmf-vvhw actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-rm5c-4rmf-vvhw 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-rm5c-4rmf-vvhw?

GHSA-rm5c-4rmf-vvhw has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.1%, placing it in the 0th 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-rm5c-4rmf-vvhw?

Description

Summary

Sandbox file operations use check-then-act, bypassing fd-based TOCTOU defenses

Current Maintainer Triage

Status: narrow
Normalized severity: medium
Assessment: Released workspace-only apply_patch remove and mkdir operations were still check-then-act, but the draft overstates scope by bundling broader edit paths; keep it open but narrow it to the actual sandbox-workspace mutation boundary.
