CVE-2026-62225
OpenClaw versions before 2026.5.18 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in skill command dispatch that allows lower-trust callers to execute or persist actions beyond their intended authorization.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.25%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
OpenClaw versions before 2026.5.18 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in skill command dispatch that allows lower-trust callers to execute or persist actions beyond their intended authorization. Attackers can bypass tool policy restrictions through configured input paths to perform unauthorized actions when the affected feature is enabled and reachable.
