How to Fix GHSA-g7fw-3gjp-g5hf
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.
npm install @openclaw/msteams@2026.8.1npm install @openclaw/feishu@2026.8.1npm install @openclaw/matrix@2026.8.1npm install @openclaw/googlechat@2026.8.1Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls @openclaw/msteamsHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-g7fw-3gjp-g5hf, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls @openclaw/msteamsAnalyze 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 2026.8.1), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls @openclaw/msteams command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

"details" : "### Summary\n\nChannel read actions could skip target allowlists. In affected versions, explicit read targets in Microsoft Teams, Feishu, Matrix, and Google Chat could reach channels or rooms outside the configured read policy.\n\nThis advisory is scoped to caller-supplied targets for message, reaction, pin, member, and related metadata reads in the named plugins. It does not change OpenClaw's trusted-operator model or create per-user isolation within one Gateway.\n\n### Impact\n\nA lower-trust sender or steered agent with access to a channel read action could retrieve content or metadata from a target excluded by the operator's channel allowlist. Practical impact depends on the bot account's platform permissions.\n\n### Patched Versions\n\nThe first stable patched version is `2026.8.1`.\n\n### Mitigations\n\nupgrade each affected channel plugin to `2026.8.1` or later. Before upgrading, disable explicit-target read actions or limit the connected bot account to allowed channels at the platform level.",
