High CVSS 8.8
CVE-2026-62223
OpenClaw before 2026.5.18 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the device-pair approval feature that allows lower-trust callers to execute actions beyond their intended authorization. Attackers can exploit misconfigured input paths to execute or persist unauthorized actions when the affected feature is enabled and reachable.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- An authorisation check exists but its logic is wrong.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
