Summary
OpenClaw affected by denial of service through unguarded archive extraction allowing high expansion/resource abuse (ZIP/TAR)
Details

Summary

Archive extraction lacked strict resource budgets, allowing high-expansion ZIP/TAR archives to consume excessive CPU/memory/disk during install/update flows.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • openclaw (npm): <= 2026.2.13
  • clawdbot (npm): <= 2026.1.24-3

Details

Affected component: src/infra/archive.ts (extractArchive).

The extractor now enforces resource budgets (entry count and extracted byte limits; ZIP also enforces a compressed archive size limit) and rejects over-budget archives.

Fix Commit(s)

  • openclaw/openclaw@d3ee5deb87ee2ad0ab83c92c365611165423cb71
  • openclaw/openclaw@5f4b29145c236d124524c2c9af0f8acd048fbdea

Release Process Note

This advisory will be updated with patched versions once the next npm release containing the fix is published.

Thanks @vincentkoc for reporting.
