Описание
OpenClaw affected by denial of service via unbounded webhook request body buffering
Summary
Multiple webhook handlers accepted and buffered request bodies without a strict unified byte/time limit. A remote unauthenticated attacker could send oversized payloads and cause memory pressure, degrading availability.
Details
Affected packages:
openclaw(npm):<2026.2.12clawdbot(npm):<=2026.1.24-3
Root cause:
- Webhook code paths buffered request payloads without consistent
maxBytes+timeoutMsenforcement. - Some SDK-backed handlers parse request bodies internally and needed stream-level guards.
Attack shape:
- Send very large JSON payloads or slow/incomplete uploads to webhook endpoints.
- Observe elevated memory usage and request handler pressure.
Impact
Remote unauthenticated availability impact (DoS) via request body amplification/memory pressure.
Patch details (implemented)
- Added shared bounded request-body helper in
src/infra/http-body.ts. - Exported helper in
src/plugin-sdk/index.tsfor extension reuse. - Migrated webhook body readers to shared helper for:
- LINE
- Nextcloud Talk
- Google Chat
- Zalo
- BlueBubbles
- Nostr profile HTTP
- Voice-call
- Gateway hooks
- Added stream guards for SDK handlers that parse request bodies internally:
- Slack
- Telegram
- Feishu
- Added explicit Express JSON body limit handling for MS Teams webhook path.
- Standardized failure responses:
413 Payload Too Large408 Request Timeout
Tests
- Added regression tests:
src/infra/http-body.test.tssrc/line/monitor.read-body.test.tsextensions/nextcloud-talk/src/monitor.read-body.test.ts
- Focused webhook/security test suite passes for patched paths.
Remediation
Upgrade to the first release containing this patch.

Связанные уязвимости
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.13 contain a denial of service vulnerability in webhook handlers that buffer request bodies without strict byte or time limits. Remote unauthenticated attackers can send oversized JSON payloads or slow uploads to webhook endpoints causing memory pressure and availability degradation.
