GHSA-v8qf-fr4g-28p2

MEDIUMFix: openclaw/openclaw@99ef3a6

GHSA-v8qf-fr4g-28p2 is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.3) vulnerability in openclaw. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-v8qf-fr4g-28p2 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Description

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected versions: < 2026.4.20
  • Patched version: 2026.4.20

Impact

The Control UI assistant-media route authenticated trusted-proxy callers but did not enforce the declared operator scopes for identity-bearing HTTP auth paths. A trusted-proxy caller without operator.read could access assistant-media files and metadata that were otherwise inside allowed media roots.

The route still required successful gateway authentication and media-root checks. Severity is low.

Fix

Assistant-media file and metadata requests now require operator.read on identity-bearing HTTP auth paths.

Release

Fixed in OpenClaw 2026.4.20.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    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.

  2. Fix

    Update openclaw to 2026.4.20 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-v8qf-fr4g-28p2 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-v8qf-fr4g-28p2 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-v8qf-fr4g-28p2. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
