CVE-2026-62229 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.5.18 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in exec allowlist glob matching that allows lower-trust callers to execute actions beyond intended authorization. Attackers can craft input paths that traverse the allowlist glob patterns to execute or persist unauthorized actions when the affected feature is enabled.
An authorization bypass vulnerability has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.5.18. This vulnerability resides in the exec allowlist glob matching, allowing lower-trust callers to execute actions beyond their intended authorization. Attackers can manipulate input paths to traverse the allowlist glob patterns, executing or persisting unauthorized actions when the affected feature is enabled.
Users are advised to upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.5.18 or later. Before upgrading, restrict the affected feature to trusted operators or disable it when not needed. As a general practice, maintain narrow channel and tool allowlists, avoid sharing a single Gateway between untrusted users, and disable the feature when it is not required.
