How to Fix GHSA-7qf6-h84j-8fq4

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: 2026.2.26 
npm install openclaw@2026.2.26
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-7qf6-h84j-8fq4, 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 2026.2.26), 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-367: Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition, where the product checks the state of a resource before using that resource, but the resource's state can change between the check and the use in a way that invalidates the results of 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

## Impact Microsoft Teams media handling used mixed fetch paths for Graph metadata/content and attachment auth-retry flows. Some paths bypassed the shared SSRF guard model and created inconsistent host/DNS enforcement across redirect/fetch hops. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published vulnerable version: `2026.2.25` - Affected range: `<= 2026.2.25` - Planned patched version for next release: `2026.2.26` ## Technical Details The Microsoft Teams attachment/media code previously relied on plugin-local fetch behavior in parts of the flow, instead of uniformly using shared guarded fetch logic with pinned DNS + policy checks. This could allow policy drift and SSRF boundary inconsistency between channel/plugin paths. The fix unifies this path by: - routing Microsoft Teams Graph message/hosted-content/attachment fetches through shared SSRF-guarded fetch paths, - routing auth-scope fallback attachment downloads through the same guarded policy model, - centralizing hostname-suffix allowlist policy helpers in `plugin-sdk` so channel/plugins use the same allowlist normalization and policy construction behavior. ## Fix Commit(s) - `57334cd7d85174d5f951de01114fd5801b063564` OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
