CVE-2026-62196 Details
Description
OpenClaw versions 2026.3.22 before 2026.6.6 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability where WhatsApp group IDs can satisfy elevated sender allowlists. Attackers with lower-trust access can perform actions requiring stronger authorization by leveraging group ID validation in the affected feature.
A vulnerability allowing authorization bypass has been identified in OpenClaw versions 2026.3.22 prior to 2026.6.6. This vulnerability arises because WhatsApp group IDs can be used to bypass sender allowlists, enabling lower-trust users to perform actions that require higher authorization. The issue is linked to group ID validation in the affected feature.
Users are advised to upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.6.6 or later. Before upgrading, it is recommended to restrict the affected feature to trusted operators or disable it when not needed.
