Auth bypass in Openclaw
CVE-2026-62193
OpenClaw versions 2026.6.5 before 2026.6.9 contain a vulnerability in the plugin install wrappers that could skip the install policy (authorization) check. When the affected feature is enabled and reachable, a lower-trust caller or a configured input path could execute or persist actions beyond the caller's intended authorization. Impact depends on the operator's configuration and whether lower-trust input can reach the affected path. The issue is fixed in 2026.6.9.
