DescriptionCVE.org
OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 parses MS Teams webhook request bodies before performing JWT validation, allowing unauthenticated attackers to trigger resource exhaustion. Remote attackers can send malicious Teams webhook payloads to exhaust server resources by bypassing authentication checks.
AnalysisAI
Resource exhaustion in OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to crash servers by sending malicious Microsoft Teams webhook payloads. The application parses request bodies before performing JWT validation, enabling attackers to bypass authentication and trigger denial-of-service conditions. A vendor patch is available via GitHub commit 3834d47, with no evidence of active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) and no public POC identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
OpenClaw is an application that processes Microsoft Teams webhook integrations. The vulnerability (CWE-408: Incorrect Behavior Order) stems from the application's request processing flow, where computationally expensive parsing operations execute before authentication validation occurs. This design flaw violates secure coding principles that mandate early authentication checks before resource-intensive operations. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates trivial remote exploitation requiring no user interaction or credentials, though impact is limited to availability (VA:H) with no confidentiality or integrity effects. The JWT validation mechanism that should protect the webhook endpoint is rendered ineffective by premature body parsing.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.3.31 or later, which implements JWT validation before request body parsing per GitHub commit 3834d47099dd13c8244ed6de8b9ea9855c553623 (https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/3834d47099dd13c8244ed6de8b9ea9855c553623). If immediate patching is not feasible, implement network-layer rate limiting on Teams webhook endpoints to cap requests per source IP (e.g., 10 requests/minute), though this reduces attack impact but does not eliminate the vulnerability. Deploy web application firewall rules to enforce maximum request body sizes for webhook paths (recommendation: limit to 1MB or application-specific threshold) to bound resource consumption per request, accepting trade-off that legitimate large payloads may be rejected. Restrict webhook endpoint access to Microsoft Teams IP ranges via firewall rules, available from Microsoft's published service IP lists, noting this assumes trust in source IP validation and does not prevent attacks from compromised Teams accounts.
