OpenClaw's inbound media downloads could exceed configured byte limits before rejection across multiple channels
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
OpenClaw did not consistently enforce configured inbound media byte limits before buffering remote media in several channel ingestion paths. A remote sender could trigger oversized downloads and memory pressure before rejection.
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw` (npm)
- Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.21-2` (latest published at triage time)
- Fixed in: `2026.2.22` (planned next release)
## Impact
An attacker could cause elevated memory usage and potential process instability (denial of service) by sending oversized media payloads.
## Fix Commit(s)
- `73d93dee64127a26f1acd09d0403b794cdeb4f5c`
## Release Process Note
`patched_versions` is pre-set to the planned next release (`2026.2.22`). After that npm release is published, this advisory can be published without further version-field edits.
OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
