Fix: openclaw/openclaw@095d522

GHSA-vr7j-g7jv-h5mp is a CWE-378 vulnerability in openclaw. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-vr7j-g7jv-h5mp is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Description

openclaw created new session transcript JSONL files with overly broad default permissions in affected releases. On multi-user hosts, other local users or processes could read transcript contents, including secrets that might appear in tool output.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected versions: <= 2026.2.15
  • First fixed version: 2026.2.17
  • Current latest npm release checked during verification: 2026.3.13 (not affected)

Impact

Session transcript JSONL files are created under the local OpenClaw session store. In affected releases, newly created transcript files did not force user-only permissions, so transcript contents could be readable by other local users depending on the host environment and umask behavior.

Fix

New transcript files are now created with 0o600 permissions. Existing transcript permission drift is also remediated by the security audit fix flow.

Verified in code:

  • src/config/sessions/transcript.ts:82 writes new transcript files with mode: 0o600
  • src/config/sessions/sessions.test.ts:303 includes regression coverage asserting 0o600

Release Note

This fix first shipped in 2026.2.17 and is present in the current npm release 2026.3.13.

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 2026.2.17 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-vr7j-g7jv-h5mp 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-vr7j-g7jv-h5mp 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-vr7j-g7jv-h5mp. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
