Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-xrq9-jm7v-g9h7 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-xrq9-jm7v-g9h7?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-xrq9-jm7v-g9h7 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-xrq9-jm7v-g9h7 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-xrq9-jm7v-g9h7 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-xrq9-jm7v-g9h7?

GHSA-xrq9-jm7v-g9h7 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 7th percentile of all CVEs.

Description

Affected Packages / Versions

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

Impact

A paired device session with limited pairing scope could enumerate global pairing state and act on pairing requests that belonged to another device within the same gateway scope ceiling.

This is a same-gateway paired-device authorization bug, not a remote unauthenticated issue. Severity is low.

Fix

Pairing management actions are now limited to the caller device, so non-admin paired-device sessions cannot approve or operate on unrelated pending device requests.

Fix commit:

5a12f30441d5b0b151f550daa2c5c9e8db61e2e6

Release

Fixed in OpenClaw 2026.4.20.
