OpenClaw < 2026.3.1 - Unbounded Memory Growth in Zalo Webhook via Query String Key Churn
Real-World Exposure
openclawReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects npm packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Summary
Unauthenticated requests to a reachable Zalo webhook endpoint could trigger unbounded in-memory key growth by varying query strings on the same valid webhook route.
Impact
An attacker could cause memory pressure and potential process instability or OOM, degrading availability.
Fix
Webhook security tracking now normalizes keys to matched webhook path semantics (query excluded) and bounds/prunes tracking state to prevent unbounded growth.

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 2026.3.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-32066 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.
