CVE-2026-62186 Details
Description
OpenClaw versions before 2026.6.8 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in OpenAI-compatible HTTP model overrides that allows lower-trust callers to perform actions requiring stronger authorization checks. Attackers can exploit misconfigured input paths to bypass admin authorization policies and execute restricted operations.
A vulnerability allowing authorization bypass has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.6.8. This issue arises in OpenAI-compatible HTTP model overrides, where lower-trust callers can perform actions that require stronger authorization checks. The vulnerability can be exploited by manipulating input paths to bypass admin authorization policies and execute restricted operations.
Users are advised to upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.6.8 or later. Before upgrading, it is recommended to restrict the affected feature to trusted operators or disable it if not needed. As a general practice, keep channel and tool allowlists narrow, avoid sharing one Gateway between mutually untrusted users, and disable the affected feature when it is not needed.
