5DescriptionCVE.org
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 fail to consistently enforce configured inbound media byte limits before buffering remote media across multiple channel ingestion paths. Remote attackers can send oversized media payloads to trigger elevated memory usage and potential process instability.
AnalysisAI
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 contain a resource exhaustion vulnerability where the application fails to consistently enforce configured inbound media byte limits across multiple channel ingestion paths. Remote unauthenticated attackers can exploit this by sending oversized media payloads to cause elevated memory consumption and process instability, leading to denial of service. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Remote unauthenticated attacker sends oversized media payloads to OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 across any channel ingestion path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) indicates a remotely exploitable vulnerability with low attack complexity requiring no authentication or user interaction, resulting in high availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated remote attacker identifies publicly accessible OpenClaw media ingestion endpoints and crafts HTTP requests containing extremely large media payloads that exceed configured byte limits. By targeting multiple channel ingestion paths simultaneously that lack proper limit enforcement, the attacker triggers unbounded memory allocation, exhausting available RAM and causing the OpenClaw process to become unresponsive or crash, denying service to legitimate users. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.2.22 or later, which contains the fix for the media byte limit enforcement issue as documented in the vendor security advisory at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-rxxp-482v-7mrh and the patch commit at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/73d93dee64127a26f1acd09d0403b794cdeb4f5c. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
