CVE-2026-62191 Details
Description
OpenClaw versions 2026.6.6 before 2026.6.9 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in message mutation handling that allows lower-trust callers to perform actions requiring stronger authorization checks. Attackers can exploit misconfigured input paths to skip requester authorization and execute privileged operations when the affected feature is enabled and reachable.
A vulnerability allowing authorization bypass has been identified in OpenClaw versions 2026.6.6 prior to 2026.6.9. This vulnerability arises in the handling of message mutations, where lower-trust callers can perform actions that require stronger authorization checks. Exploitation is possible by misrouting input paths to bypass requester authorization, enabling the execution of privileged operations when the affected feature is active and accessible.
Users are advised to upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.6.9 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 required.
