CVE-2026-32049
OpenClaw < 2026.2.22 - Denial of Service via Inbound Media Download Byte Limit Bypass
Description

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.
