OpenClaw 2026.2.21-2 < 2026.2.22 - Unauthenticated WebSocket Resource Exhaustion via Media Stream
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, and reverse-dependency count shows how many other packages break if it stays unpatched.
openclawnpm@openclaw/voice-callnpmDescription
Summary
@openclaw/voice-call (and the bundled copy shipped in openclaw) accepted media-stream WebSocket upgrades before stream validation. In reachable deployments, unauthenticated pre-start sockets could be held open and increase resource pressure.
Affected Packages / Versions
openclaw(npm): vulnerable<= 2026.2.21-2, patched in2026.2.22.@openclaw/voice-call(npm): vulnerable<= 2026.2.21, patched in2026.2.22.
Technical Details
Before this fix, the voice-call media-stream path upgraded sockets first and ran shouldAcceptStream() after a later start frame. This created a pre-auth window where remote clients could hold idle sockets without call/token validation.
Impact
Availability risk in deployments where the media-stream endpoint is reachable and streaming is enabled. Under sustained abuse, this could consume connection-related resources and degrade service for legitimate streams.
Remediation
The fix adds layered controls in the media-stream path:
- strict pre-start timeout (close sockets that do not send a valid
startframe quickly) - global pending-connection cap
- per-IP pending-connection cap
- total open media-stream connection cap
- safer upgrade-path parsing in the webhook server

Detection & mitigation playbook
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 2026.2.22 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-32062 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-32062 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-32062. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2026-32062 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds CVE-2026-32062 across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
