Summary

Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw's inbound media downloads could exceed configured byte limits before rejection across multiple channels

Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-rxxp-482v-7mrh. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original 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.
