CVE-2026-62218 Details
Description
OpenClaw 2026.1.20 before 2026.5.27 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the device.pair.approve feature that allows lower-trust callers to bypass role-management checks. Attackers can perform actions requiring stronger authorization by reaching the affected feature through configured input paths.
A vulnerability allowing authorization bypass has been identified in OpenClaw versions 2026.1.20 prior to 2026.5.27. This issue resides in the device.pair.approve feature, where lower-trust callers can circumvent role-management checks. As a result, attackers may execute actions that require stronger authorization by accessing the vulnerable feature through specific input paths.
Users are advised to upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.5.27 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 necessary.
