Agentic Consent Bypass: LLM Agent Can Silently Disable Exec Approval via config.patch
Current Maintainer Triage
- Status: open
- Normalized severity: high
- Assessment: Maintainers accepted this issue, fixed it in 76411b2afc4ae721e36c12e0ea24fd23e2fed61e on 2026-03-27, and that fix shipped in v2026.3.28, so normalize it as a fixed released draft rather than a close-by-trust-model call.

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 2026.3.28 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-v3qc-wrwx-j3pw 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-v3qc-wrwx-j3pw 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-v3qc-wrwx-j3pw. 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-v3qc-wrwx-j3pw in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-v3qc-wrwx-j3pw across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
