| Impact | CVSS 5.3 (Medium, AV:N/AC:L) reflects a network-exploitable, low-complexity denial of service with limited impact (availability only; no confidentiality or integrity breach). The attack vector is straightforward (network, no authentication required, no user interaction), but the impact is bounded to service availability. However, context matters: this is an incomplete fix to a prior vulnerability (CVE-2026-32011), indicating that the vendor's initial remediation was insufficient and this issue may remain in production deployments for extended periods. The lack of computational complexity (AC:L) and lack of privileges required (PR:N, UI:N) mean any remote attacker can mount this attack immediately. While CVSS is moderate, the real-world risk depends on the criticality of webhook delivery in the target environment-for organizations relying on real-time Feishu notifications (DevOps alerts, incident response), prolonged webhook unavailability could cascade into operational impact. No EPSS score, KEV status, or public POC data were provided, but the attack is trivial to execute (standard HTTP client, no special tools needed), suggesting practical exploitability is high despite moderate CVSS. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker identifies the OpenClaw Feishu webhook endpoint (commonly at a predictable path such as /webhook/feishu or /api/webhooks/feishu) and writes a simple Python or curl script that opens hundreds of concurrent TCP connections and sends partial or slow HTTP POST requests with large bodies (e.g., Content-Length: 1048576) without completing the transmission, holding each connection open for 25-30 seconds. The OpenClaw server allocates buffers and connection state for each request, consuming memory and file descriptors. Because signature verification does not occur until the full body is received or the timeout expires, the attacker exhausts server resources without needing valid credentials. Within minutes, the server hits connection or memory limits, and legitimate Feishu webhooks (e.g., incident notifications from monitoring systems) are dropped or delayed, causing blind spots in alerting and incident response. The attack requires only basic HTTP knowledge and no special tools, making it practical for any unauthenticated attacker on the internet. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 10, 2026
OpenClaw before version 2026.3.24 allows unauthenticated remote denial of service via the Feishu webhook handler, which accepts request bodies up to 1MB with a 30-second timeout before verifying the request signature. An attacker can exhaust server connection resources by sending concurrent slow HTTP POST requests, blocking legitimate webhook deliveries and degrading service availability. This is an incomplete remediation of the earlier CVE-2026-32011.
RemediationAI
Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.3.24 or later, which contains the corrected webhook handler implementation. Per the GitHub security advisory (https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-w6m8-cqvj-pg5v), this release addresses the incomplete fix from CVE-2026-32011 by implementing strict request validation before signature verification. If immediate patching is not possible, implement network-layer mitigation by rate-limiting or IP-blocking connections to the Feishu webhook endpoint (/path/to/feishu/webhook or equivalent), or by placing the OpenClaw instance behind a reverse proxy with connection pooling and request timeout enforcement (e.g., nginx with client_max_body_size and proxy_connect_timeout directives). Additionally, monitor connection counts and request latency to the webhook endpoint for signs of slow-request attack patterns.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability exists in OpenClaw's Feishu webhook integration, a webhook handler for the Feishu (DingTalk) enterprise collaboration platform. The root cause is classified as CWE-405 (Uncontrolled Request Size), stemming from a failure to enforce strict request validation prior to signature verification. The handler accepts bodies up to 1MB and waits up to 30 seconds before cryptographic signature validation occurs. This design permits an attacker to establish many concurrent TCP connections and send slow HTTP requests (slowloris-style attack), forcing the server to allocate connection state and buffers for each request. Because signature verification happens after these resource-intensive steps, an attacker can amplify resource consumption without providing valid HMAC or JWT credentials. The webhook endpoint is exposed to unauthenticated access (PR:N in CVSS vector), making this a pre-authentication denial of service vector.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-32011 where the Feishu webhook handler accepts request bodies with permissive limits of 1MB and 30-second timeout before signature verification. An unauthenticated attacker can exhaust server connection resources by sending concurrent slow HTTP POST requests to the Feishu webhook endpoint, blocking legitimate webhook deliveries.
