OpenClaw bounds provider response reads against memory exhaustion

By RepoJournal · Filed · About OpenClaw

Five fixes cap unbounded JSON responses across APNs, Runway, OpenAI, Together, PixVerse, and fal, closing a class of OOM and hang risks on media and push paths.

OpenClaw shipped a series of fixes bounding HTTP response reads across external provider integrations [1][2][3][4][5]. The shared pattern was an unbounded `await response.json()` on success paths, where a hostile, misconfigured, or SSRF-reachable endpoint streaming a body without `Content-Length` could force the runtime to buffer the entire payload before parsing, risking out-of-memory crashes or hangs. The APNs relay path [1], the Runway create and poll paths [2], the OpenAI video create-submit path [3], Together/PixVerse paths [4], and fal image/music/video paths [5] all now cap reads, with Together, PixVerse, and fal using the existing shared 16 MiB provider limit. The poll and download paths for Runway and OpenAI were already bounded, so only the affected success-path reads changed. These are all defense-in-depth fixes: they harden OpenClaw against misbehaving or compromised endpoints, not against a known live exploit [1][5]. One PR notes they "cap those success-path JSON reads with the existing shared 16 MiB prov" [4].
