CVE-2026-62189

OpenClaw versions before 2026.6.9 contain a symlink following vulnerability in the mirror sync feature that allows lower-trust callers to perform actions requiring stronger authorization. Attackers can exploit remote symlink parents to bypass policy checks and authorization boundaries when the feature is enabled and reachable.

Summary		(es) Las versiones de OpenClaw anteriores a la 2026.6.9 contienen una vulnerabilidad de seguimiento de enlaces simbólicos en la función de sincronización de espejos que permite a los llamadores de menor confianza realizar acciones que requieren una autorización más sólida. Los atacantes pueden explotar padres de enlaces simbólicos remotos para eludir las comprobaciones de políticas y los límites de autorización cuando la función está habilitada y es accesible.
