GHSA-vjx8-8p7h-82gr is a high-severity (CVSS 7.6) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in openclaw. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-vjx8-8p7h-82gr is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Summary
Marketplace Plugin Download Follows Redirects Without SSRF Protection
Current Maintainer Triage
- Status: open
- Normalized severity: medium
- Assessment: v2026.3.28 still uses bare redirect-following fetch in src/plugins/marketplace.ts for marketplace archives, and fixed-on-main only does not change that shipped SSRF exposure.

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-vjx8-8p7h-82gr 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-vjx8-8p7h-82gr 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-vjx8-8p7h-82gr. 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-vjx8-8p7h-82gr in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-vjx8-8p7h-82gr across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
