openclaw-ghsa-maintainer

name openclaw-ghsa-maintainer description Inspect, patch, validate, publish, or confirm OpenClaw GHSA security advisories and private-fork state. OpenClaw GHSA Maintainer Use this skill for repo security advisory workflow only. Keep general release work in release-openclaw-maintainer . Respect advisory guardrails Before reviewing or publishing a repo advisory, read SECURITY.md . Ask permission before any publish action. Treat this skill as GHSA-only. Do not use it for stable or beta release work. Fetch and inspect advisory state Fetch the current advisory and the latest published npm version: gh api /repos/openclaw/openclaw/security-advisories/<GHSA> npm view openclaw version --userconfig " $(mktemp) " Use the fetch output to confirm the advisory state, linked private fork, and vulnerability payload shape before patching. Verify private fork PRs are closed Before publishing, verify that the advisory's private fork has no open PRs: fork=$(gh api /repos/openclaw/openclaw/security-advisories/<GHSA> | jq -r .private_fork.full_name) gh pr list -R " $fork " --state open The PR list must be empty before publish. Prepare advisory Markdown and JSON safely Write advisory Markdown via heredoc to a temp file. Do not use escaped \n strings. Build PATCH payload JSON with jq , not hand-escaped shell JSON. Example pattern: cat > /tmp/ghsa.desc.md << 'EOF' <markdown description> EOF jq -n --rawfile desc /tmp/ghsa.desc.md \ '{summary,severity,description:$desc,vulnerabilities:[...]}' \ > /tmp/ghsa.patch.json Apply PATCH calls in the correct sequence Do not set severity and cvss_vector_string in the same PATCH call. Use separate calls when the advisory requires both fields. Publish by PATCHing the advisory and setting "state":"published" . There is no separate /publish endpoint. Example shape: gh api -X PATCH /repos/openclaw/openclaw/security-advisories/<GHSA> \ --input /tmp/ghsa.patch.json Publish and verify success After publish, re-fetch the advisory and confirm: state=published published_at is set the description does not contain literal escaped \\n Verification pattern: gh api /repos/openclaw/openclaw/security-advisories/<GHSA> jq -r .description < /tmp/ghsa.refetch.json | rg '\\\\n' Common GHSA footguns Publishing fails with HTTP 422 if required fields are missing or the private fork still has open PRs. A payload that looks correct in shell can still be wrong if Markdown was assembled with escaped newline strings. Advisory PATCH sequencing matters; separate field updates when GHSA API constraints require it. Public hardening/no-publish comments and draft text should avoid raw commit hashes, PR titles/numbers, and fix-mechanism summaries. Prefer patched-version fields or release-only wording; keep SHAs, PRs, and implementation notes in internal evidence.
