How to Fix GHSA-fqrj-m88p-qf3v

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: 2026.3.31 
npm install openclaw@2026.3.31
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-fqrj-m88p-qf3v, 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 2026.3.31), 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-287: Improper Authentication, where when an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct. 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

## Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.3.31, the Zalo webhook replay-dedupe cache was shared across authenticated webhook targets and keyed too broadly. In multi-account deployments, a replay seen on one account could suppress a legitimate event on another account if `event_name` and `message_id` matched. ## Impact An attacker who controlled one authenticated Zalo webhook path in a multi-account gateway deployment could cause silent message suppression on a different Zalo account sharing that gateway. This was an availability issue; it did not provide cross-account authentication or data access. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `>= 2026.2.19, < 2026.3.31` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.31` - Latest published npm version: `2026.4.1` ## Fix Commit(s) - `4d038bb242c11f39e45f6a4bde400e5fd42e4ebf` — scope webhook replay dedupe per target - `7cea7c29705b188b464cc9cdc107c275b94b2a72` — follow-up hardening to scope replay dedupe by path and account ## Release Process Note The initial fix shipped in OpenClaw `2026.3.31` on March 31, 2026. The current published npm release `2026.4.1` from April 1, 2026 also contains follow-up hardening for the same surface. Thanks @nexrin for reporting.
