CVE-2026-62228

OpenClaw before 2026.6.5 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in node exec approvals that allows lower-trust callers to execute actions beyond their intended authorization by using different gateway and node environments. Attackers can exploit mismatched environment configurations to persist or execute actions that exceed the caller's approved permissions.

Summary		(es) OpenClaw anterior a 2026.6.5 contiene una vulnerabilidad de omisión de autorización en las aprobaciones de ejecución de nodos que permite a los llamadores de menor confianza ejecutar acciones más allá de su autorización prevista utilizando diferentes entornos de pasarela y de nodo. Los atacantes pueden explotar configuraciones de entorno no coincidentes para persistir o ejecutar acciones que exceden los permisos aprobados del llamador.
