How to Fix GHSA-72q8-jcmc-97wx

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected OpenClaw dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

openclaw fixed: 2026.4.20 
npm install openclaw@2026.4.20
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls openclaw

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-72q8-jcmc-97wx, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls openclaw

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of OpenClaw in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2026.4.20), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls openclaw command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization, where the product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check. In OpenClaw, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `< 2026.4.20` - Patched version: `2026.4.20` ## Impact Feishu card-action callbacks could synthesize a message event with DM conversations classified as group conversations. That skipped `dmPolicy` enforcement for card actions, so a sender in a Feishu DM could trigger card-action flows that should have been blocked by a restrictive DM policy. The issue is limited to Feishu card-action handling. Severity is medium. ## Fix OpenClaw now resolves Feishu card-action chat type before dispatch, including API lookup when stored context is unavailable, and avoids falling through to group handling for DMs. Fix commit: - `90979d7c3ef7ec30b9f8aa6963a5e38d2f17d166` ## Release Fixed in OpenClaw `2026.4.20`.
