GHSA-rvqr-hrcc-j9vv
MEDIUMGHSA-rvqr-hrcc-j9vv is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.6) CWE-345 vulnerability in openclaw. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-rvqr-hrcc-j9vv is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
OpenClaw: Bonjour/DNS-SD TXT metadata steers CLI routing after failed service resolution

openclawnpmDescription
Summary
Bonjour and DNS-SD TXT metadata could still steer CLI routing even when actual service resolution failed, allowing unresolved hints to influence the chosen target.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected: < 2026.3.22
- Fixed: >= 2026.3.22
- Latest released tag checked:
v2026.3.23-2(630f1479c44f78484dfa21bb407cbe6f171dac87) - Latest published npm version checked:

Release Status
The fix shipped in v2026.3.22 and remains present in v2026.3.23 and v2026.3.23-2.
Code-Level Confirmation
- src/infra/bonjour-discovery.ts now resolves and returns only concrete endpoints instead of falling back to unresolved TXT host and port hints.
- src/cli/gateway-cli/discover.ts consumes only the fail-closed resolved endpoint path.
OpenClaw thanks @nexrin for reporting.

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-rvqr-hrcc-j9vv 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-rvqr-hrcc-j9vv 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-rvqr-hrcc-j9vv. 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-rvqr-hrcc-j9vv in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-rvqr-hrcc-j9vv across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
