DescriptionCVE.org

OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains an unbounded memory allocation vulnerability in remote media HTTP error handling that allows attackers to trigger excessive memory consumption. Attackers can send crafted HTTP error responses with large bodies to remote media endpoints, causing the application to allocate unbounded memory before failure handling occurs.

AnalysisAI

OpenClaw before version 2026.3.22 allows remote attackers to trigger denial of service through unbounded memory allocation in HTTP error handling for remote media endpoints. By sending specially crafted HTTP error responses with large bodies, unauthenticated attackers can exhaust application memory, causing availability degradation. The vulnerability requires only network access and no user interaction, making it a practical attack vector for service disruption.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability exists in OpenClaw's remote media HTTP error handling mechanism, classified as CWE-789 (Uncontrolled Memory Allocation). The root cause is insufficient input validation and bounds checking when processing HTTP error responses from remote media sources. When the application receives an HTTP error response, it allocates memory to store the error body without proper size limits or early termination conditions. An attacker can exploit this by controlling or manipulating HTTP responses to remote media endpoints (via man-in-the-middle, DNS hijacking, or compromised upstream servers) and injecting arbitrarily large payloads. The unbounded allocation occurs before the application's failure handling logic executes, allowing memory exhaustion before protective mechanisms can intervene. This is a classic resource exhaustion vulnerability affecting network-facing input processing.

RemediationAI

Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.3.22 or later, which contains the fix. Two upstream commits have been identified-commit 630f1479c44f78484dfa21bb407cbe6f171dac87 and commit 81445a901091a5d27ef0b56fceedbe4724566438-both available in the project repository at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw. For detailed remediation guidance and confirmation of patched releases, consult the vendor security advisory (https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-4qwc-c7g9-4xcw) and VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-unbounded-memory-allocation-via-remote-media-error-responses). Until patching is possible, implement network-level monitoring and rate limiting on remote media endpoints to detect and block anomalously large HTTP error responses.
