Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via the base64 media decoding. An attacker can exhaust system memory resources by submitting oversized base64-encoded payloads, leadin...

GHSA-W2CG-VXX6-5XJG OpenClaw: denial of service through large base64 media files allocating large buffers before limit checks

Summary Base64-backed media inputs could be decoded into Buffers before enforcing decoded-size budgets. An attacker supplying oversized base64 payloads can force large allocations, causing memory pressure and denial of service. Attack Scenario Notes - Recommended deployments bind the gateway to...

Improper Authorization

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authorization via the slash-command handler. An attacker can execute privileged commands by sending direct messages to the bot, bypassing intended allowlist or access-group...

GHSA-V773-R54F-Q32W OpenClaw Slack: dmPolicy=open allowed any DM sender to run privileged slash commands

Summary When Slack DMs are configured with dmPolicy=open, the Slack slash-command handler incorrectly treated any DM sender as command-authorized. This allowed any Slack user who could DM the bot to execute privileged slash commands via DM, bypassing intended allowlist/access-group restrictions...

Command Injection

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the exec-approvals allowlist, when shell expansion is performed on argv tokens. An attacker can access sensitive files by supplying crafted arguments that leverage...

GHSA-XVHF-X56F-2HPP OpenClaw exec approvals: safeBins could bypass stdin-only constraints via shell expansion

Summary OpenClaw's exec-approvals allowlist supports a small set of "safe bins" intended to be stdin-only no positional file arguments when running tools.exec.host=gateway|node with security=allowlist. In affected configurations, the allowlist validation checked pre-expansion argv tokens, but...
