CVE-2026-28394

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.15 contain a denial of service vulnerability in the web_fetch tool that allows attackers to crash the Gateway process through memory exhaustion by parsing oversized or deeply nested HTML responses. Remote attackers can social-engineer users into fetching malicious URLs with pathological HTML structures to exhaust server memory and cause service unavailability.

Summary
  • (es) Las versiones de OpenClaw anteriores a la 2026.2.15 contienen una vulnerabilidad de denegación de servicio en la herramienta web_fetch que permite a los atacantes bloquear el proceso Gateway mediante el agotamiento de la memoria al analizar respuestas HTML sobredimensionadas o profundamente anidadas. Los atacantes remotos pueden aplicar ingeniería social a los usuarios para que recuperen URLs maliciosas con estructuras HTML patológicas para agotar la memoria del servidor y causar indisponibilidad del servicio.
