Details
BlueBubbles group reaction events previously bypassed requireMention and still enqueued agent-visible system events in groups that were supposed to stay mention-gated. Commit f8c98630785288cc1f1d0893503ef3b653a3cede applies the reaction path to the same mention gate as normal group messages.
Verified vulnerable on tag v2026.3.24 and fixed on main by commit f8c98630785288cc1f1d0893503ef3b653a3cede.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

The application does not correctly enforce access controls, allowing a principal to access resources or operations beyond their granted permissions.
- Which versions of openclaw are affected by GHSA-MW7W-G3MG-XQM7? openclaw (npm) versions <= 2026.3.24 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-MW7W-G3MG-XQM7? No fixed version is listed for GHSA-MW7W-G3MG-XQM7 yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
- Is GHSA-MW7W-G3MG-XQM7 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-MW7W-G3MG-XQM7 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether GHSA-MW7W-G3MG-XQM7 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
- How do I fix GHSA-MW7W-G3MG-XQM7? No fixed version is listed yet. In the interim: Keep the dependency up to date. Audit access-control checks to ensure they are applied consistently and cannot be bypassed.
