CVE-2026-32062: Openclaw Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
HIGHCVE-2026-32062 is a HIGH (CVSS 7.5) remote code execution vulnerability (CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) affecting Openclaw libraries in the npm ecosystem. The issue involves openclaw voice-call media stream validated streams after upgrade, which could allow pre-start unauthenticated sockets to increase resource pressure. Remediation is available by upgrading affected packages to version 2026.2.22.
CVE-2026-32062 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 7.5
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
How to Fix CVE-2026-32062
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Openclaw dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install openclaw@2026.2.22npm install @openclaw/voice-call@2026.2.22Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls openclawHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-32062, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls openclawAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Openclaw in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2026.2.22), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls openclaw command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

"details" : "### Summary\n`@openclaw/voice-call` (and the bundled copy shipped in `openclaw`) accepted media-stream WebSocket upgrades before stream validation. In reachable deployments, unauthenticated pre-start sockets could be held open and increase resource pressure.\n\n### Affected Packages / Versions\n- `openclaw` (npm): vulnerable `<= 2026.2.21-2`, patched in `2026.2.22`.\n- `@openclaw/voice-call` (npm): vulnerable `<= 2026.2.21`, patched in `2026.2.22`.\n\n### Technical Details\nBefore this fix, the voice-call media-stream path upgraded sockets first and ran `shouldAcceptStream()` after a later `start` frame. This created a pre-auth window where remote clients could hold idle sockets without call/token validation.\n\n### Impact\nAvailability risk in deployments where the media-stream endpoint is reachable and streaming is enabled. Under sustained abuse, this could consume connection-related resources and degrade service for legitimate streams.\n\n### Remediation\nThe fix adds layered controls in the media-stream path:\n- strict pre-start timeout (close sockets that do not send a valid `start` frame quickly)\n- global pending-connection cap\n- per-IP pending-connection cap\n- total open media-stream connection cap\n- safer upgrade-path parsing in the webhook server\n\n### Fix Commit(s)\n- `1d8968c8a821ff1a05c294a1846b3bcb6f343794`\n\n### Release Process Note\n`patched_versions` is pre-set to `2026.2.22` so this advisory is ready to publish once npm `openclaw@2026.2.22` and `@openclaw/voice-call@2026.2.22` are released.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @jiseoung for reporting.",
