CVE-2026-62191

HIGH 7.1

Published 2026-07-13 · Last modified 2026-07-14

OpenClaw versions 2026.6.6 before 2026.6.9 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in message mutation handling that allows lower-trust callers to perform actions requiring stronger authorization checks. Attackers can exploit misconfigured input paths to skip requester authorization and execute privileged operations when the affected feature is enabled and reachable.
