GHSA-vjp8-wprm-2jw9
LOWOpenClaw has cross-account DM pairing authorization bypass via unscoped pairing store access
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

openclawnpmDescription
Summary
OpenClaw had account-scope gaps in pairing-store access for DM pairing policy, which could let a pairing approval from one account authorize the same sender on another account in multi-account setups.
Impact
This is an authorization-boundary weakness in multi-account channel deployments. A sender approved in one account could be accepted in another account before explicit approval there.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Latest published version affected:
2026.2.25 - Vulnerable range:
<= 2026.2.25 - Patched version (planned next release):
>= 2026.2.26
Fix
OpenClaw now enforces account-scoped pairing reads/writes consistently across core and extension message channels, with stricter runtime/SDK helpers and shared policy wiring to prevent cross-account pairing bleed.

Release Process Note
patched_versions is pre-set to the planned next release (2026.2.26). After npm publish of that version, this advisory is ready to publish without further content edits.
OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey 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 2026.2.26 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-vjp8-wprm-2jw9 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-vjp8-wprm-2jw9 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-vjp8-wprm-2jw9. 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-vjp8-wprm-2jw9 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-vjp8-wprm-2jw9 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
