Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-62196 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Openclaw Openclaw. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-62196/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-62196/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-62196","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-62196/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-62196","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fh38-965w-f6c3","GHSA-q932-85w6-fmxr","MINI-xg57-3hgj-hvp2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"other","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenClaw","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass authorization controls in OpenClaw by using WhatsApp group IDs to perform actions requiring higher privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[{"product":"openclaw","vendor":"openclaw"}],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"OpenClaw versions 2026.3.22 before 2026.6.6 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability where WhatsApp group IDs can satisfy elevated sender allowlists.
