OpenClaw has unbounded memory growth in Zalo webhook via query-string key churn (unauthenticated DoS)

  • Disclosed: 02.03.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

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.
