GHSA-vfg3-pqpq-93m4

GHSA-vfg3-pqpq-93m4 is a CWE-696 vulnerability in openclaw. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-vfg3-pqpq-93m4 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Description

Summary

Tlon cite expansion happened before channel and DM authorization completed, allowing cite work and content handling before the final auth decision.

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: 2026.3.23-2

Fix Commit(s)

  • 3cbf932413e41d1836cb91aed1541a28a3122f93
  • ebee4e2210e1f282a982c7ef2ad79d77a572fc87

Release Status

The fix shipped in v2026.3.22 and remains present in v2026.3.23 and v2026.3.23-2.

Code-Level Confirmation

  • extensions/tlon/src/monitor/index.ts now defers cite expansion until after authorization and preserves explicit empty-allowlist semantics.
  • extensions/tlon/src/monitor/utils.ts and extensions/tlon/src/security.test.ts ship the deferred cite expansion behavior and regressions.

OpenClaw thanks @zpbrent for reporting.

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 2026.3.22 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-vfg3-pqpq-93m4 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-vfg3-pqpq-93m4 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-vfg3-pqpq-93m4. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
