Summary
Discord Slash Commands Bypass Group DM Channel Allowlist
Current Maintainer Triage
- Status: narrow
- Normalized severity: moderate
- Assessment: v2026.3.28 native Discord slash and autocomplete paths still skip the group-DM allowlist, but impact is limited to already-authorized Discord users bypassing a channel restriction rather than crossing a stronger trust boundary.

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 2026.3.31 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-rvvf-6vh3-9j43 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-rvvf-6vh3-9j43 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-rvvf-6vh3-9j43. 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-rvvf-6vh3-9j43 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-rvvf-6vh3-9j43 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
