Description
OpenClaw versions 2026.6.6 before 2026.6.9 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in Discord guild actions that allows lower-trust callers to perform actions requiring stronger authorization checks. Attackers can exploit misconfigured input paths to skip cross-provider requester authorization and execute restricted operations.

AI Analysis

Impact

OpenClaw versions 2026.6.6 up to but excluding 2026.6.9 have a flaw that lets callers with lower trust levels perform privileged Discord guild actions that normally would be protected by cross‑provider requester authorization. This is an authorization bypass that can lead to unintended operations, potentially exposing data or taking control of guild functions, classified as CWE‑863.

Affected Systems

All releases of the OpenClaw application distributed prior to 2026.6.9, including 2026.6.6, 2026.6.7, and 2026.6.8, built on Node.js. The vulnerability affects the Discord guild action handlers implemented in the OpenClaw code base.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.2 ranks the flaw as high severity. The EPSS score is reported as less than 1%, indicating a very low but non‑zero probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an attacker to send crafted requests that manipulate the path parameters used by Discord guild actions to bypass the missing authorization check. The likely attack vector is remote, through network requests to the OpenClaw service, enabled by Discord interactions that an attacker could trigger. Once the bypass is achieved, the attacker can execute restricted operations that should be confined to higher‑trust users.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.6.9 or later, which removes the authorization bypass flaw
  • Implement strict validation of input paths used by Discord guild actions to enforce the intended trust level
  • Monitor Discord guild activity logs for unexpected privileged operations and apply rate‑limiting to guard against automated abuse
