Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-32062 where the voice-call component parses large WebSocket frames before start validation. Remote attackers can send oversized pre-start WebSocket frames to cause resource consumption and denial of service.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability lies in the voice‑call component of OpenClaw, which parses large WebSocket frames before performing any pre‑start validation. An attacker can send an oversized frame, causing the system to allocate excessive resources and ultimately deny service. This flaw directly enables a remote denial of service.

Affected Systems

OpenClaw products built with any version prior to 2026.3.31 are affected. The issue is specific to the OpenClaw voice‑call module.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates moderate severity. No EPSS data is available, and the entry is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting the flaw is not known to be widely exploited yet. The likely attack vector is a remote attacker sending a large WebSocket frame, probably unauthenticated, to trigger the resource exhaustion. Manual exploitation would require the ability to open a WebSocket connection to the affected voice‑call endpoint.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.3.31 or newer, where the frame size validation has been fixed.
  • Restrict the maximum allowed size of WebSocket frames at the application layer or using a reverse proxy, ensuring that oversized frames are rejected before reaching the core application.
  • Monitor the system for abnormal memory or CPU usage spikes that could indicate a denial‑of‑service attempt, and trigger alerts or throttling mechanisms if such patterns are detected.
