GHSA-rxxp-482v-7mrh
Fix: openclaw/openclaw@73d93deGHSA-rxxp-482v-7mrh is a CWE-770 vulnerability in openclaw. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-rxxp-482v-7mrh is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
OpenClaw's inbound media downloads could exceed configured byte limits before rejection across multiple channels
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, a proxy for how much of the ecosystem is exposed.
openclawnpmDescription
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.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update openclaw to 2026.2.22 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-rxxp-482v-7mrh 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 pinpoints whether GHSA-rxxp-482v-7mrh is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-rxxp-482v-7mrh. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-rxxp-482v-7mrh in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-rxxp-482v-7mrh across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
