CVE-2026-62190

HIGH 8.7

Published 2026-07-13 · Last modified 2026-07-15

OpenClaw versions before 2026.6.9 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the flock wrapper that allows lower-trust callers to execute or persist actions beyond their intended authorization. Attackers can leverage configured input paths to bypass durable exec approval binding and perform unauthorized operations when the affected feature is enabled.
