CVE-2026-62195 Details
Description
OpenClaw versions 2026.5.20 before 2026.6.6 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the MCP loopback feature that allows lower-trust callers to execute owner-only tools. Attackers can bypass authorization checks through configured input paths to execute or persist actions beyond their intended permissions.
An authorization bypass vulnerability has been identified in OpenClaw versions 2026.5.20 prior to 2026.6.6. This vulnerability resides in the MCP loopback feature, allowing lower-trust callers to execute owner-only tools. The issue arises because authorization checks can be bypassed through configured input paths, enabling actions to be executed or persisted beyond the caller's intended permissions.
Users are advised to upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.6.6 or later. Before upgrading, it is recommended to restrict the MCP loopback feature to trusted operators or disable it when 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.
