openclawnpmDescription
Impact
OpenClaw webhook handlers for BlueBubbles and Google Chat accepted and parsed request bodies before authentication and signature checks on vulnerable releases. This allowed unauthenticated clients to hold parser work open with slow/oversized request bodies and degrade availability (slow-request DoS).

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update openclaw to 2026.3.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-32011 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Cap what an attacker can consume: apply request size, rate and timeout limits in front of the affected component, and run it with memory and CPU limits so exhaustion degrades one worker rather than the whole service.
